TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Tulsa police say a television has fallen and fatally crushed a 1-year-old boy in a southeast Tulsa apartment.

Police Capt. Ryan Perkins says the accident happened about 7 p.m. yesterday as a group of children were wrestling in one of the apartment's bedrooms.

Perkins says one of the children bumped into a dresser, causing the 37-inch television to fall onto the 1-year-old's head and neck.

Perkins says at least two adults were in other rooms in the apartment. He says a 9-year-old boy pulled the television off the toddler and ran to tell the adults, who called for help.

The officer says no one else was injured.
