An American from Oklahoma rescued two children who were sitting inside a car as the temperature reached 36 degrees, Fox News reported.
On Aug. 20, the two 2-year-old girls were reportedly found unconscious and strapped into their respective seats in a vehicle parked in direct sunlight outside a Walmart, according to Fox News.
A woman, whose identity has not been revealed, climbed onto the car and pulled the little girls out through the sunroof while other people tried to open the car doors.

The children were in shock and crying when they were dragged out of the vehicle.
While leaving Walmart, the mother, Elizabeta Babb, 33, was arrested. She reportedly told authorities she had been shopping for only five minutes. However, security cameras show the woman had been inside for 35 minutes.
According to police reports, Walmart employees asked Ms Babb to leave the store, but she stayed until she had to pay for her purchases.
