Bystanders trying to pull boy from Avista pool after getting sucked underwater

555 Surveillance footage from the Avista Resort confirms that a 12-year-old boy was stuck underwater for just over 9 minutes after his leg was caught in a pool suction line on March 19. North Myrtle Beach police were called to the scene around 9:45 p.m. as bystanders tried to pull the boy from the grate. The first officer to respond to the scene can be seen taking off her gun and then sitting down to untie both of her shoes before jumping into the water. Shortly after she enters the pool, a second officer arrives on scene, takes his gun off before jumping in the water and almost immediately pulls the boy from the grate. Officers quickly begin CPR on the boy.
