Police in a suburban Chicago town saved a child who was drowning in an icy pond on Wednesday.

The 9-year-old child fell into an icy retention pond on Wednesday around 4:30 p.m. while trying to get a football, according to the Aurora Police Department. When officers got to the scene, they saw that an adult woman also went in the pond to save the child from drowning.

Officers went into the pond and saved both the woman and child and brought them back to land, officials said in a Facebook post.

The 9-year-old was sent to a local hospital with minor injuries after the incident, in addition to two police officers who rescued the child in the pond.

All individuals have been released from area hospitals.

In body camera video released by the police department, officers can be seen using a water rescue kit to bring both the child and adult back to land, while two officers went into the water.

In an interview released by the police department, the mother of the child drowning said that she thought her “son was not going to be here” when she saw him drowning.

Cops called to Chicago DA Kim Foxx’s home after alleged domestic dispute

Police responded to the home of Chicago’s top prosecutor Kim Foxx last weekend after she and her husband allegedly engaged in a physical domestic dispute, according to reports.

The Cook County State Attorney’s husband made the 911 call following the alleged June 4 feud at the couple’s suburban Flossmoor residence that was sparked over a social media post, according to police records obtained by WGN-TV.

Foxx’s husband told police “that Kimberly got mad about something that was posted on Facebook that he did,” according to the police report. “Kimberly asked him to leave and he refused.”

According to her husband, Foxx allegedly grabbed him by the collar and threw his video game controller to the ground, according to documents. He also alleged she slapped him on his left cheek.

Foxx told responding officers that “she did put hands on [her husband] but it was only to help guide him out of the house. She never slapped him.”

The district attorney said her husband called police “only to hurt her,” cops wrote in the report.

The couple’s 19-year-old daughter was home at the time of the incident but told police she only heard yelling.

Police wrote they “did not see any evidence to support an arrest in this incident,” in their report, according to the outlet.
