The three girls and one boy were struck as they walked with an umbrella from their school bus Wednesday afternoon.

Witnesses said they saw a bright light and then as many as six children fall to the ground near Hawthorne Groves apartments.

"One (child) was on the ground and she was limp," witness William Lane said. "Another one, her body was real, real tense like she was paralyzed."

Two of the children were treated and released from Health Central in Ocoee. A third girl remained in stable condition at Arnold Palmer.
