Three people died Friday after a boat capsized on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin during a severe storm. A source told CBS News Chicago that all three victims were children, believed to be under the age of 13.
According to the source, a group was out on the lake when severe storms suddenly moved in, causing the boat to flip. The Walworth County Sheriff's Office confirmed the capsizing and said that after a large search, seven people were rescued. Three additional fatalities were reported.
The sheriff's office said that to the best of their knowledge, a total of 10 people were on the boat when it went over. Officials did not confirm the ages of the victims or provide additional details about the deaths.
The deaths are under investigation by the Geneva Lake Law Enforcement Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. No further details were immediately available.
