Richland Police said a juvenile was hurt and taken to the hospital after a pre-arranged fight escalated Thursday, April 10 around 8:30 p.m. at Claybell Park on Broadmoor Street—officers detained a vehicle for investigation after a gun was fired and shell casings were recovered.

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office completed its report on suspected arson that damaged a 1969-built public restroom at Two Rivers Park last month with no injuries reported, and county officials plan to demolish the structure, cap existing utility lines + refurbish the concrete pad as they follow their plan to replace the aging facility with portable toilets.

Richland police and the Parks Department investigated a weapons disturbance at Claybell Park on April 10 near 425 Broadmoor Street when a planned fight escalated and someone fired a weapon, with officers from Kennewick, West Richland and Benton County assisting, one juvenile receiving treatment at Kadlec, and a firearm along with shell casings recovered.

Researchers from Waseda University reported on April 11 that children with suspected autism spent more time watching predictable shapes—shown in a two-minute video—than random ones, suggesting the test could help doctors diagnose autism as early as 3 years old.

The study compared 17 children with potential autism and 11 typical children.
