INDIANAPOLIS — A boy was in critical condition after Speedway fire crews found him submerged and unresponsive during a water rescue Friday evening in a pond at an apartment complex.
The Speedway and Wayne Township fire departments and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were called at 6:22 p.m. Friday to a water rescue and a welfare check involving a child in the 600 block of Magdalene Lane.
