VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Coast Guard officials say two people are dead and four have been rescued after their boat capsized in the Chesapeake Bay.

Coast Guard spokesman Brian Neilan says a Coast Guard helicopter and a rescue boat, along with local rescuers, responded to a distress call near the Lesner Bridge in Virginia Beach shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Neilan says the four survivors showed signs of minor hypothermia after being pulled from the chilly waters. They were taken to local hospitals.
