3 dead, 27 injured when suspected smuggling boat capsizes off coast of Point Loma
The boat broke apart on the rocks near the Cabrillo National Monument

SAN DIEGO — A small boat capsized and apparently broke apart off the coast of Point Loma Sunday morning, leaving at least three people dead and more than two dozen hospitalized in what officials said was a suspected human smuggling attempt
Emergency crews got the call shortly before 10:30 a.m. after parks workers found people in distress in the water near the Cabrillo National Monument, officials said.
Lifeguards helped pull 25 victims from the water, five of whom were in "CPR status," meaning they were having trouble breathing, said Jose Ysea, a spokesman with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Three people died and 27 others who suffered what Ysea described as "varying degrees of injuries" were taken to local hospitals.
