GOODYEAR, AZ – A boy is in critical condition after being found in a Goodyear pool Tuesday afternoon.

Russ Braden with the Goodyear Fire Department said the 2-year-old was discovered by a parent in the pool in the area of Van Buren Street and Sarival Avenue.

Other children were at the home and had reportedly just gotten home from school.
