There is no criminality expected and the three-old-girl was able to squeeze through the gap in the window between the air condition and the wall, neighbors told CBS News.
"I think she (the child) came down the side of the building because there are ACs coming down the side," Kevin Williams, the building's supervisor, told CBS. "Her body shifted as it was coming down. It didn't come flush down, thank God."
