An Alabama coroner said at least three of the victims of the more than a dozen tornadoes to hit the state are children—two of whom have now been identified.

Bill Harris, the Lee County coroner, said the three children among the dead were a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old who died at the hospital and a 10-year-old, according to The Associated Press.
