A 14 year old boy and a 10 year boy were playing in shallow water during the mid-afternoon around Beach Access Road 3 on Mustang Island. The pair were washed out from the shore by strong rip currents. CPR was administered to both boys. They were transported to a local hospital where both of them passed away.
