AURORA, Illinois (WJW) – Body camera video of police rescuing a mother and her child who fell through the ice into a pond has been released.
It happened in Aurora, Illinois.
The officers rushed to the scene Wednesday following a report of a 9-year-old boy who had fallen through the ice in a retention pond, along with the child’s mother who tried to save him.
The boy had walked onto a frozen section of the pond to retrieve a football when he fell through the ice.
Two officers swam to save the drowning child and the woman who were in the water.
