HOPEWELL, Va. (WWBT) - Hopewell police say a woman attempted to drown a child under the age of one in the Appomattox River Monday morning.
“Firetruck, ambulance, police, detectives. It was a lot of people out here,” Bob Gill recalled. He lives directly across from the heroic rescue. “Right in front of my front door.”
Gill looked from his front yard as Hopewell police and fire crews took to the Appomattox River. They came out with a little boy.
