TEMPE, AZ — A boy has died after being pulled from a swimming pool at a Tempe apartment complex Sunday night.

Tempe police say they were called to the complex near Rural and Baseline roads around 8 p.m. for a reported drowning.

Police officers who arrived on the scene found a one-year-old boy who had been pulled from the pool and was not breathing.

The child was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and later died.

It's not clear how long the child was in the pool.

This is the second child to nearly drown on Sunday in the Valley.

Earlier in the afternoon, a 9-year-old boy was pulled from a pool at a home in Buckeye. That child remains in critical condition.
