An 11-year-old Girl Scout was killed when a tree fell in a"freak accident" at an Indiana campground on Monday, officials said.The Perry County Sheriff's Office said it received a call at around 11:30 a.m. local time about a tree that had fallen on several campers and volunteers at Camp Koch, the Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana's resident camp facility, nestled along the Ohio River near the small city of Cannelton.

The group was heading back down the incline toward the mess hall when they were struck and became trapped under the tree, Malone said. The sheriff called it a"freak accident" and said there won't be a criminal investigation. Malone, overcome with emotion, said,"they were there to have a good time."
