The parents immediately called 911 and officers with the Fort Wayne Police Department promptly arrived at the home and began searching the area.

Body camera footage shows Myers running towards the neighbor’s above-ground pool.

Cries can be heard in the background, and as Myers gets closer, the child’s hands and feet are seen just above the water.

“I found him,” Myers is heard saying into his radio. “He’s in the pool.”
