Mom describes heartbreaking moment she tried rescuing her three sons who died after falling through icy Texas lake: ‘I just couldn’t save them’

A Texas mother recounted the devastating moment she tried to rescue her three young sons who died after falling through an icy pond during a brutal winter storm.

Cheyenne Hangaman told local TV station Fox4 she “just couldn’t save” the boys — ages 6, 8, and 9 — who had wandered onto a frozen pond behind a friend's house in Fannin County, located near the Oklahoma border, on Monday. She was alerted to the accident by the boys’ sister, who rushed to find help.
