PITTSBURGH — A young boy was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Wednesday after nearly drowning in a pool at the Fox Chapel Golf Club.

Police said they were called to the club around 8:30 p.m. and when they arrived the boy was unconscious.

It’s unclear how long the child may have been in the water before he was pulled out.
