NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — A 33-year-old mother climbed over a
safety rail and intentionally went over Niagara Falls with her
two children, a 9-year-old and 5-month-old, according to New
York state police, who said Wednesday that search and rescue
efforts were unsuccessful.
Authorities responded to the park around 9 p.m. Monday and
determined the family went over the rail on Luna Island, a small
island between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls that,
along with the Horseshoe Falls, make up the popular tourist
draw.
“The investigation has determined that this incident was
intentional in nature, though the circumstances remain under
investigation,” state police said in a news release.
Authorities are using unmanned aircraft and underwater units in
the investigation.
