NEW DETAILS: Washington Man Accused Of Strangling Grandparents

Posted: Updated:

SEATTLE (AP) - The King County sheriff's office in Seattle says the grandparents of a man accused of killing them were strangled.
    
Sgt. Cindi West says the King County medical examiner's office determined the cause of death for 82-year-old Robert Taylor and 80-year-old Norma Taylor was strangulation.
    
Authorities have accused 26-year-old Michael Chadd Boysen of killing the couple after they held a party for him Friday to welcome him home from prison.
    
Boysen was arrested Tuesday after a daylong standoff at a motel in Lincoln City, Ore. He's in a Portland, Ore., hospital with self-inflicted cuts.
    
West says he's in serious condition and is conscious.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Wind, humidity and rainfall combined precisely to create the massive killer tornado in Moore, Okla. And when they did, the awesome amount of energy released over that city dwarfed the power of the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. Meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements to calculate the energy released during the storm's life span of almost an hour.
