Current Headlines: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Half of the sextuplets born prematurely to a Minnesota couple have now died, while the others remained in critical condition, hospital officials said Saturday.

A third boy, Lincoln Sean Morrison, died Friday. Two of his brothers, Tryg and Bennet, died earlier in the week.

The four boys and two girls were born last Sunday about 4 1/2 months early at a Minneapolis hospital. Parents Ryan and Brianna Morrison released a statement saying it's been "a difficult week" for them, and thanked everyone for their prayers and support.
