SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Three men are missing and presumed dead in California after a child was caught in a river current and they swam out in an attempt to rescue him, authorities said. The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that the boy was swept away at a popular boating and swimming destination called Three Mile Slough. The delta area of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Sacramento. Authorities searched for the men for two hours in hopes of rescuing them but later transitioned to a recovery operation, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. And a 13-year-old girl drowned Sunday off the shore of a lake in Madera County, the Fresno Bee reported on Monday.
