WASHINGTON CO. LAW ENFORCEMENT PERFORMING SWIFT WATER RESCUE

  

Update @ 10:30 p.m: The City of Brenham says as of 10 p.m., water-based rescue operations are being temporarily scaled back due to another band of heavy thunderstorms moving through the area. Throughout the night, land-based search teams, drones equipped with thermal imaging, and specially trained canines will continue the search for the missing 10-year-old.

Water rescue teams will resume operations at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, as soon as it is safe to do so.
