HOUSTON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- At least six people were killed and an unknown number of children from summer camps along the Guadalupe River went missing during the major flash flooding caused by heavy rain overnight in central Texas, authorities said Friday.
Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly confirmed the toll, but did not reveal the victims' identities.
"We can't say for sure that they're all accounted for. We know that there are some missing," Kelly said during a briefing Friday morning.
The area has several summer camps along the river, including Camp Mystic, a camp for girls, NBC News reported.
The camp issued a statement Friday morning saying the parents of the missing children have been notified, and if a parent has not been contacted, their child is accounted for. ■
