Alan Tysheen Eugene Lassiter, 29, is charged with three counts of attempted murder and is jailed on a bond of $2 million, according to the Durham County Jail. His 3- and 5-year-old daughters who had to be rescued from the water remain hospitalized following the Sunday night incident. His 7-year-old son escaped and ran for help, police said.
"Please send an ambulance. My daughters are in the lake, drowning. Both of my young daughters," the distraught man tells a dispatcher as he tries to explain where he is so police can come help. Later in the call, he tells a bystander: "I just drowned my two daughters in the lake back there."

So sad, and the children will have to live with the horror the rest of their lives. He obviously has mental problems.
And if the young boy had not escaped would he have placed the call?
Durham is a bad bad area. I moved here from ocean city a couple of years ago and wish I hadn't. I'm about 2 miles outside of the city in a relatively safe area but its crazy to think of all the crime going on right down the road.
Durham is a city 10X the size of Ocean City and still has less crime.
