200 rescued from ice

Officials in northern Minnesota say roughly 200 people have been rescued from Upper Red Lake after an ice chunk broke free from shore. The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office says on its Facebook page that the people were ice fishing Monday when the chunk separated. Officials directed the anglers to the southeast edge of the lake known as JR’s Corner, where a temporary ice bridge was set up over the open water. Authorities said that everyone had been rescued by mid-afternoon.
