Three Children Die After Wisconsin Boat Capsizes

Three children died after a recreational motor boat carrying 10 passengers, including four children, capsized on Wisconsin's Geneva Lake on Friday afternoon. The incident occurred as the boat attempted to navigate to safety amid rapidly deteriorating weather conditions during a sudden, intense storm. Seven other individuals were rescued by emergency responders, according to a statement from the city of Lake Geneva police department. The capsizing happened on the eve of the US's semiquincentennial celebrations. The police department shared details of the incident on their Facebook page, confirming the fatalities and the successful rescue of the remaining passengers. The exact cause of the capsizing beyond the severe weather is still under investigation by local authorities.
