Three people killed and seven missing after boat capsizes off San Diego coast

Two children believed to be among missing as search continues for people believed to be migrants

Three people were killed and seven others, including two children, were missing after a small boat capsized in choppy waters off the coast of San Diego, California, on Monday.

The fatal disaster appeared to be an apparent migrant smuggling attempt, officials said. Four other people were rescued after the panga"-style open fishing vessel washed ashore near Torrey Pines state beach were transported to hospital, according to US Coast Guard officials.
