Boise Police says the incident went down near the Baybrook Bridge. A Boise Fire patrol team was near the scene and used a throw bag to bring one of the two victims to shore.
The injured persons ended up with minor injuries. There's a city ordinance that makes jumping off bridges into the Boise River when you're within 50 feet of a boater, floater, rafter or tuber illegal.
