Boy remains critical after near drowning in Clayton
A 5-year-old boy remained in critical condition Thursday morning after being found unconscious in a swimming pool earlier in the week, Clayton County police said.

The first officer on the scene assisted a man who was already performing CPR on the boy, Officer Ashanti Marbury said in a news release.
