Hall County deputies are investigating the deaths of two children whose bodies were discovered Friday afternoon in a home east of Gainesville.
The siblings, a 5-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl, were found about 2 p.m. after deputies responded to a report of a stabbing in a house along Crescent Drive, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
