A woman died in Grand Canyon National Park on Thursday after falling into rapids on the Colorado River, according to the National Park Service.
The woman -- identified as 68-year-old Mary Kelley of Steamboat Springs, Colorado -- was on the ninth day of a private boating trip when she "entered the river at the top of Hance Rapid," the park service said in a statement. It described Hance Rapid in part as a "highly technical and powerful whitewater rapid" at the Colorado River's intersection with Red Canyon.
Kelley was unresponsive when other group members pulled her from the water, and they began performing CPR. Park rangers flew to the location by helicopter, but efforts to resuscitate Kelley were unsuccessful, the statement said.

A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from enforcing most of his executive order on elections against the vote-by-mail states Washington and Oregon, in the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote and to require that all ballots be received by Election Day.

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.
