Two climbers reported missing this week on California's towering Mount Whitney have been found dead, officials said Thursday. A friend who had been with the climbers called authorities Tuesday night after they failed to arrive as planned at their campsite, the Inyo County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. The friend said the pair had planned to ski or snowboard from the “notch,” a flat area where climbers often stop to rest, down to their camp at Upper Boy Scout Lake.
The Okaloosa Sheriff’s Department placed the officer on administrative leave following the fatal shooting of Roger Fortson.
The bill retains language that would expand long-haul flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport by five round trips per day.
