VENTURA, Calif. –  A suspected smuggling vessel rammed a U.S. Coast Guard chase boat off the Southern California coast, killing one Coast Guard member and injuring another, authorities said. Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III, 34, of Redondo Beach, was pronounced dead Sunday after he was brought ashore at Port Hueneme, said James Baroni, Ventura County chief deputy medical examiner. Horne suffered a traumatic head injury in the crash near the Channel Islands west of Malibu, Coast Guard officials said. The second man was treated for minor injuries. His name wasn't released. A Coast Guard aircraft spotted a panga — a small Mexican-style fishing boat often used by smugglers — before dawn and the cutter Halibut was sent to intercept it, officials said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
