Police say they don't not suspect foul play in the deaths of 2 Milwaukee boys. The medical examiner says autopsy results indicate 12-year-old Quadrevion Henning and 11-year-old Purvis Parker accidentally drowned. The bodies were recovered from a park lagoon yesterday, near the site where the boys vanished almost 1 month ago.
They had to wait patiently, some overnight. But thousands turned out this morning to get tickets for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, including hundreds of gay and lesbian parents. It's part of a coordinated effort to make the point that their families are different.
