President Trump offered his condolences on Friday to the loved ones of those who died in the tragic Missouri duck boat capsizing accident.

My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those involved in the terrible boat accident which just took place in Missouri. Such a tragedy, such a great loss. May God be with you all!

Police told The Associated Press that stormy weather forced the boat carrying tourists to capsize and sink on Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri.

At least 17 people, including several children, were killed in the accident. Four adults and three children have so far been found alive and brought to the hospital, AP reported said.
