HOUSTON — A little boy in Houston is being hailed a hero after he rescued a 5-year-old, lifeless girl from the bottom of an apartment complex pool.
On Sunday, Rickie August Jr., 10, was swimming the Retreat at Cypress Station Apartments’ pool when he saw Egypt Bradly at the bottom.
“I just acted,” said August, who prefers to be called Junior. “I didn’t think about nothing.”
