TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A one-year-old baby boy was hospitalized after a near drowning in Rita Ranch, according to Tucson Fire.
Tucson Fire Capt. Andy Skaggs said crews responded to the 9000 block of Muleshoe Street after the baby's 10-year-old brother called 911.
The family released a statement via email saying that the baby is still in the ICU at Banner-UMC. The family said the baby fell into the family pool and the boy's mother began CPR before paramedics arrived.
