GREENVILLE COUNTY, South Carolina — Two Greenville County sheriff's deputies are being credited with helping revive a young child who had fallen into a swimming pool and stopped breathing, according to reports citing the sheriff's office and released body-camera video.

FOX Carolina reported that Deputy Jordan Stevenson and Deputy Connor O’Shields were called to a home around 6 p.m. on May 31 for a report of a little girl who had fallen into a swimming pool and stopped breathing.

When the deputies arrived, they immediately began CPR and continued until other first responders reached the scene, according to FOX Carolina's report and the body-camera video described by the station.

“Those critical moments that followed could have ended in unimaginable heartbreak,” the Greenville County Sheriff's Office said, according to FOX Carolina. “Instead, because of the swift actions, training and determination of Deputy Jordan Stevenson and Deputy Connor O’Shields, a little girl was given a chance to keep living her story.”

Sheriff's office credits training and quick action

Storyful video distributed by Yahoo News also attributed the footage and statement to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office. The Storyful summary said the child was rescued after falling into a swimming pool and that the sheriff's office credited the deputies' “swift actions, training, and determination.”

The child's name and identifying details are not included here. ThinBlueNews is using a distant body-camera arrival still rather than a close medical-care frame because the story involves a child and emergency medical treatment.
