Ala. man gets death for tossing 4 kids from bridge

MOBILE, Ala. — A judge has sentenced an Alabama man to death for killing four young children by tossing them from a bridge.

Circuit Judge Charles Graddick handed down the death sentence Thursday to Lam Luong (lahm loo-AWNG’).

The 38-year-old jobless shrimper, a Vietnamese refugee, was convicted in March of killing the children in January 2008.

He was accused of dropping the four — ranging in age from four months to 3 years — from an 80-foot span after an argument with their mother.

Three of the children were his.
