Five wounded in fight at party in Walla Walla

WALLA WALLA – Police said five people are hospitalized with gunshot and stab wounds after a gang-affiliated birthday party turned ugly.

Officers say a fight broke out early Saturday morning when several people with no known gang links stopped by a house frequented by gang members.

Several people were stabbed before someone took out a handgun and started firing.

Police say the most seriously injured man was flown to a Portland hospital for two gunshot wounds to the chest.

Another man was shot and stabbed, while three others suffered stab wounds.

There was no immediate word of arrests in the case.

Trains resume after mudslide

EDMONDS, Wash. – Amtrak and Sound Transit Sounder passenger trains were running again Sunday on a stretch of railroad tracks north of Seattle that was closed because of a mudslide.

BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas said Sunday that the commuter train service along Puget Sound resumed at 6:15 a.m.

Passenger trains had been blocked for 48 hours as a precaution after the slide was detected by a sensor fence at 6:15 a.m. Friday. Debris covered one of two parallel tracks 2 feet deep along 20 feet.

Freight trains were able to roll past the slide on the parallel track.
