GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Searchers are trying to locate two boys who were last seen in the water near the seawall in Galveston.
A Coast Guard statement says the boys — ages 11 and 16 — were reported missing around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, sparking a search from helicopter and on foot along the shoreline.
Authorities believe the children went into the water near some jetties, at 17th Street and Seawall Boulevard, when they disappeared.
