BUCKEYE, AZ — A young boy has been taken to a hospital after being found unresponsive in a backyard pool Sunday.

It happened near SR 85 and Broadway Road just before 2 p.m.

Buckeye fire officials say the child's condition is critical.

It's not clear how long the boy was in the pool before being pulled out.

This is the second of three drowning-related incidents in the Valley this weekend. A 2-year-old boy was pulled from a pool in Peoria on Saturday and a 2-year-old child died after an incident in Phoenix on Sunday.
