BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) – Police are investigating after two boys were pulled from the water at a Brockton park Saturday.
Dive crews responded to reports of two children going under the water at D.W. Field Park in Brockton at 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, officials said. Crews pulled one child from the water at 9 p.m. and began life-saving measures before he was hospitalized, officials said.
Crews removed the second child at 9:30 p.m. and performed CPR before that child was taken to the hospital, according to police. The two children were identified as 11-year-old and 13-year-old boys.
Firefighters say the boys were found about 10-12 feet underwater and believe the two are related.
“As mayor, this is a really difficult part of my job,” said Brockton Mayor Robert Sullivan. “As a dad of three young kids, it’s devastating.”
