A toddler has died and another child and their mother have serious injuries after an incident at a farmhouse in Larne.
Police and emergency services have been at the property in Bankhill Road, on the edge of the County Antrim town, throughout Monday.
It is understood that police are treating it as a domestic incident.
Neighbour Rhonda Kernohan said: “I heard the sirens and the helicopter, the air ambulance, came and it landed up at the back of the farm.
“We thought it was a farm accident but when we looked out there was a lot of shouting and a lot of police, a lot of ambulances about.”
Another neighbour said the woman who lived at the house was a “youngish girl”.
A lane to the house has been sealed off as forensics experts in white suits gather evidence.
Larne is a coastal town about 30 miles (48km) north of Belfast
