A Phoenix teen is fighting for her life after nearly drowning in a pool Monday night.
It happened at an apartment complex near Indian School and Interstate 17 while she was with a group of friends.
3TV has learned the 15-year-old girl had no pulse and was not breathing when she was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital.
