The Coast Guard says radio communications for a routine training exercise in Washington were overheard by the public, leading to news reports and confusion amid Friday’s commemorations of the Sept. 11 anniversary.

Coast Guard Chief of Staff John Currier told reporters no shots were fired and there was no suspect vessel on the river, as had been reported by cable news networks.

Currier also said President Barack Obama was not in the area at the time. Obama’s motorcade had crossed the river on the way to a memorial at the Pentagon earlier Friday morning.

Currier said the Coast Guard will review the incident. He added that the Coast Guard trains every day to maintain an around-the-clock security presence.

Boaters traveling to the Bahamas reported missing

Coast Guard officials in South Florida say a boat carrying three people went missing during a trip from Lake Worth to the Bahamas.
According to a news release, a friend of the boat’s 65-year-old owner called emergency officials when he stopped getting satellite location messages from the boat, which is called the Flying Pig. The vessel’s last message placed the Flying Pig about 20 miles north of Grand Bahama Island.
The boat’s owner, Skip Gondlach, left Lake Worth on Florida’s eastern coast with his two passengers Sunday. They were headed to Spanish Cay, Bahamas.
Coast Guard crews used a jet to search for the 46-foot vessel Monday.
