NORFOLK, Va. — An ongoing search-turned recovery mission that started Thursday is continuing Friday in Ocean View, officials say.

Norfolk police say they got a call for a water rescue near Community Beach Park off of East Ocean View Avenue around 12:50 p.m. on Thursday. Later that day, law enforcement deployed a helicopter and boats. Police haven't confirmed if this was a drowning, but a lifeguard told News 3 he saw a man get in the water but didn't see him get out.

On Friday, the Coast Guard told News 3 they're continuing the search, and Norfolk police are still investigating.
