AUGUSTA, Ga. — A boy has died after touching a fence that became electrified at a park in east Georgia. News outlets report 12-year-old Melquan Robinson was at football practice Monday evening in an Augusta park when he grabbed the chain-link fence that had been electrified by a live wire. A county sheriff’s office report says two boys and one adult were also injured. Sheriff’s deputies say Melquan had climbed the fence to retrieve a football. Bowen says authorities are investigating and the city will focus on how the wire energized the fence.
