A girl is in critical condition at the hospital after falling into a swimming pool in the Twin Cities suburb of Richfield. On Sunday morning, a six-year-old girl fell into a partially-filled in-ground pool. Her eight-year-old cousin jumped in to help but it took two officers to pull them both out. The boy is okay but the girl was unconscious and needed C-P-R. Investigators are looking into why the pool was uncovered.
