A 7-year-old autistic girl was killed in a house fire early this morning in Jackson County.
The fire broke out around 6 a.m. at a home on Amos Baker Road in the Sandgap Community with a mother and her children inside.
According to reports, the mother was able to escape with her children, but apparently 7-year-old Dora Brewer got scared and went back in the burning home, locking herself in her bedroom.
Dora died in the fire. The mother and an infant were taken to UK Hospital for treatment. There is no word on their conditions.
