RED WING, Minn. — Search teams from both the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides of the Mississippi River responded to a call that three men fishing from a boat were missing. The men were at the mouth of the Vermillion River upstream from Red Wing. The emergency call came in at 7:30 p.m., said Goodhue County Sheriff Marty Kelly. The initial report was that one man fell overboard and two companions jumped in to save him. None surfaced. Kelly called off the search at 8:50 because of darkness and a gathering storm. The search was to resume at dawn.
