A 21-month-old has drowned and two men are missing in Lewis County, Washington, where the Green and Cedar rivers are swelling.

Nine other people were rescued Saturday after river accidents in King County — and police say some are lucky to be alive.

Sheriff’s Sgt. John Urquhart said a 45-year-old Seattle man was with three others Saturday when he went underwater in his kayak and failed to reappear on the surface downstream from Kanasket Palmer State Park.

Because of the steep cliffs on both sides of the river, the group could not reach a place where they could get out and call authorities for more than an hour. The search was suspended Sunday evening until the Green River water level decreased.

What possesses somebody to shoot and kill a 3 year old and a 6 year old child??? An extended family was found shot in a suburb of Seattle, Washington who were part of a mass slaying which included two small children, all shot to death.

Horrible. Just so incredibly senseless.

An arrest has been made, a couple in their twenties who are suspects after they conveniently showed up to the crime scene with their bad acting skills.

The victims were a man and a woman in their 50s, another man and woman in their 30s, and two children: a 6-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy.

They are believed to be three generations of the same family, and they appeared to have been shot sometime Monday, Urquhart said.

The bodies were found in and around the house, which is on a residential property in Carnation, Urquhart said. The house sits among a cluster of residences and is at the end of a long dirt road on the edge of woods.
