An 8-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical but stable condition after going underwater in a northeast valley apartment complex pool, according to Metro Police
Another child is being credited with pulling the boy from the water, providing CPR and getting the boy, who had been unconscious and unresponsive, to breathe, Metro Lt. Brian Cole said.
Medics were dispatched about 2:20 p.m. to the Eagle Trace Apartments, 5370 E. Craig Road, Cole said. The boy was transported to University Medical Center.
There were adults and children in the pool at the time of the incident when the boy went underwater and became unresponsive, Cole said. Detectives with Metro’s abuse and neglect unit were investigating, as is custom when a child is injured.
