RACINE -- Racine police confirm there was a drowning at North Beach on Sunday evening, July 30th.

It happened around 6:00 p.m.

The Racine County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation.

Witnesses said it was a chaotic scene as multiple emergency vehicles blocked portions of Michigan Boulevard.

"We heard a lot of emergency vehicles and I was in my house, actually. A friend on a boat asked 'what's happening in front of your house?' So I came out and the police had blocked off the road on Washington Boulevard on each end here for two blocks and they had pulled someone from the lake," a witness said.

Officials are only confirming the drowning at this point. The age and gender of the victim hasn't been released.
