New York State Police and the New York Park Police are working to recover the bodies of a mother and her two children who went over the American side of Niagara Falls Monday night in what investigators are calling an “intentional” incident.

Police say they responded to an incident on Goat Island around 9 p.m. According to investigators, 33-year-old Chianti Means, 9-year-old Roman Rossman and 5-month-old Mecca Means jumped over the safety railing and went over the falls on Luna Island.

Investigators say this incident was intentional, but the circumstances remain under investigation.

New York State Trooper James O’Callaghan says the family has been very cooperative, which has allowed police to speed up their investigation.

Police held a press conference Wednesday afternoon to provide an update.
