White House confirms U.S. fired twice at alleged drug boat

Episode 335 | 3m 57s

The White House confirmed that the military fired twice at a suspected drug boat during its campaign of airstrikes in the Caribbean. A source familiar with what happened tells PBS News that a second strike in early September came despite the military knowing there were survivors in the water. That has sparked bipartisan concern that strikes like these are illegal. Nick Schifrin reports.
