The Odessa Police Department is investigating the near-drowning of a three-year-old girl.

On Sunday afternoon officers with their department and Odessa Fire Rescue responded to the 2300 block of Country Club Drive for a call of a possible drowning.

When police arrived on scene they found that a three-year-old girl had fallen into a swimming pool and inhaled water in her lungs, according to OPD.

The child was then pulled out of the pool and a family member performed CPR.

Police say that the child was then taken to Medical Center Hospital before being air-lifted to Lubbock's Covenant Medical Center for precautionary reasons.

The child's condition is unknown at this time.

Corporal Steve LeSueur states that an investigation into the incident is still ongoing.
