At least eight dead after boat capsizes in Pacific off San Diego

Search continues for seven more people after small craft suspected to have been carrying 15 migrants overturned off Black's Beach

At least eight people were killed when two suspected smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach and one capsized, authorities said. Crews were searching on Sunday for an estimated seven additional victims.

A woman on one of the panga-style boats called 911 late on Saturday to report that the other vessel overturned in waves off Black's Beach, US coast guard petty officer Richard Brahm said.
