A 2-year-old child died in a domestic homicide in Frankfort, and the child's mother was hospitalized after hurting herself Tuesday, police said.

Frankfort police said they responded at about 4:04 p.m. Tuesday for an unresponsive child found in a home in the 22700-block of Brook Stone Court.

Officers arrived and performed CPR on the 2-year-old child, who was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, police said.

"I'm very shocked," the neighbor said. "I can't believe that I'm seeing police tape, you know, and really not knowing what's going on."

Carolyn Pappas was among those shaken upon hearing the news about the domestic incident.

"This is just absolutely heartbreaking to understand what happened a couple blocks away, and that it's impacting our community," Pappas said. "It's gut-wrenching to understand that a little 2-year-old could be the victim of such a horrific event."

The home involved remained blocked off Wednesday evening, and a squad car was on the scene.

"This is a community where we never any issues of this sort; so it kind of struck me," Melvin Woods Jr. said.

Many in the area said the ordeal has been devastating to a community left heartbroken by the tragedy.
