Tragedy strikes California river: Two children lost in dangerous conditions.

Two children, an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother, died after being swept away by the Kings River in central California during what authorities call extraordinarily dangerous conditions. The river has been closed since mid-March to recreational users due to violent storms and melting snow pushing water levels up and creating dangerous conditions. The children were not wearing life jackets, and authorities are reminding people of the power of water and the importance of water safety.

Tragedy Strikes as Two Children Go Missing in Kings River.

An 8-year-old girl was found dead and a 4-year-old boy is still missing after being swept away by the Kings River in Fresno County.
