First responders in Bowie are searching for a missing male teenager who might have drown in a lake near the city's high school.
City of Bowie Police and Fire responded to the report of possible drowning at the Johnson Lake located next to Bowie High School and immediately began searching for the teen who went under the water while swimming.
No official information has been released on the possible victim or the circumstances.
