3 dead, dozens hurt as suspected smuggling boat capsizes off San Diego
At least three people were killed Sunday and more than two dozen were hospitalized after a small boat capsized and appeared to have broken apart off Point Loma, California. Officials said the boat was involved in a suspected human smuggling operation. Lifeguards reportedly pulled 25 people from the water. Five of them were in what rescuers described as "CPR status," indicating they were having difficulty breathing, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Jose Ysea. News video showed medics on a dock performing CPR on two men, with a Coast Guard helicopter lowering another onto a field in a basket. The boat, reportedly a kind of low-slung fishing boat often used by smugglers, flipped near Cabrillo National Monument. [San Diego Union Tribune]
