Police saved 27 people from a floating ice block that broke away from the coast in Green Bay Bay in eastern Wisconsin, according to the sheriff's office.
According to the Brown County Sheriff's Office, no people were wounded in the event that occurred Saturday morning north of Green Bay, in the arm of Lake Michigan. At the time of the tragedy, many of the 27 persons evacuated were ice fishing.
