Baby girl shot in car dies days later
SEATTLE – A 1-year-old girl who was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting outside Seattle has died.
A spokeswoman for Harborview Medical Center said the girl was brain dead and care was withdrawn Saturday night.
Police said the baby was shot in the head Thursday afternoon while sitting in a car seat in the back of a silver Chevrolet Impala at an intersection in Kent. Her parents were in the front seat when police said a black car pulled alongside, and the driver and a passenger in that vehicle opened fire before driving off.
Authorities have said they don’t believe the shooting was random.
Hotels given tsunami-related key sleeves
SEASIDE, Ore. – Some hotels on the Oregon Coast are resisting a new tsunami awareness initiative.
The city of Seaside has given hotels key holders that contain warnings of a potential tsunami and evacuation instructions, in an effort to inform visitors about the risks, Fire Division Chief Chris Dugan said. Area hotels have the option to incorporate the sleeves into their safety plan.
The key sleeves are the main feature of Seaside’s new awareness initiative for hospitality industries. But while some hotels and other businesses are using them, the Daily Astorian reported others have “mixed emotions.”
The key holders give instructions to drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake, then move inland quickly or use a local evacuation route; and lastly, wait for an official “all clear” before returning to the beach.
