COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a 6-year-old boy who fell into a frozen Ohio pond was unresponsive when he was pulled from the water, and a police officer who tried to rescue him also was taken to a hospital.
Columbus firefighters say the boy fell through ice on a pond near an apartment complex Monday morning.
