Nine year old boy dies in tragic school accident

FCPD officers say a 9-year-old boy has died after an accident at Franconia Elementary School on May 19. The boy, who was in the School Age Child Care (SACC) program at his school on Beulah Road, was in the gym at about 4:45.  The child, Wesley Lipicky, and a teacher, both simultaneously pressed a button to open a large, motorized room partition that splits in the middle. The boy suffered traumatic head injuries when he was caught between the partition and a wall. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Police say an autopsy  found this to be an accidental death. No charges are expected in this case.
