In the Chevy Chase incident, a 29-year-old woman and her 4-year-old child were found unconscious in an outside stairwell leading to the basement of their house in the 8800 block of Connecticut Avenue, county police said.

A police spokesman said a portable sump pump was in standing water near the victims, and detectives were looking into whether the water had become electrically charged.
