Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says one person is dead and a search is ongoing for a second person who went underwater at the Salt River Wednesday evening.
Officials were called to the Sheep's Crossing Recreation Site around 5:40 p.m. for reports of a drowning.
Multiple people reportedly became "distressed in the water," including two who went under and did not resurface.
One of the victims was located and, despite advanced life-saving care, was pronounced dead at the scene. The second has not yet been located.
