The rescue

In a brave combined effort, the two agents decided to risk their own lives to save those of both vulnerable people.

Within seconds another group of agents arrived on the scene withdrew the rescue equipment and the policemen thoughtlessly tied a rope around their waists and jumped into the frozen water.

“I know I’m not an Olympic swimmer so I knew I wasn’t going to be able to swim with the other two people in the water”confessed Andrew Soderlund, one of the officials for the CBS channel, so they needed the help of his team to pull them out of the lake with the rope.

Fortunately, These “heroes without capes”, as they described the two agents, managed to rescue the adult and the minor.

According to the Aurora Police Department report, “Officers who swam to rescue the child suffered minor injuries,” so they were transferred to a hospital of the Aurora Fire Department, like the minor.

While the older adult was treated at the scene and did not present injuries.
