The U.S. Coast Guard fires shots to disable a boat carrying 25 Chinese nationals near Key Biscayne, Florida, after the vessel refuses to stop, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Both sources describe the incident as an attempt to interdict an alleged smuggling operation. The Coast Guard opens fire after the targeted boat does not comply with instructions to halt. The reported action is characterized as disabling gunfire intended to stop the vessel rather than as a pursuit outcome. The accounts attribute key details to DHS, including the location near Florida and the number of people aboard. The sources provided do not include further specifics such as whether anyone is injured, the vessel’s operator status, the boat’s flag or origin, or any subsequent arrests or charges. The information emphasizes the sequence of events—an interdiction attempt, the failure of the boat to stop, and the Coast Guard’s decision to fire to disable it—while leaving additional investigative and legal developments unaddressed.
