Susan Newcome, an Indianapolis resident, was recreating in the beach’s tidal zone around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday when a wave swept her underwater, according to a news release.

Bystanders and first responders administered CPR at the scene, and Newcome was evacuated by helicopter to Olympic Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

The president of the plaintiff’s group, Jennifer Newcome, said the ban will directly affect 3,000 people in Florida and indirectly affect thousands more.

Newcome said she believes voters were misinformed about the treatment of greyhounds and the effect of the amendment.

“I think most people in Kansas are independent enough that they prefer to make their own family decisions without the government telling them what to do,” said Newcome, a grandmother living outside Hutchinson who says she stopped vaccinating her children decades ago.
