All the crime tape and police

are cleared out of this area
tonight -
but the investigation into this
accident is far from over.
PKG: Child's play took a deadly
turn Saturday
afternoon. Police believe some
children who live at Belle Isle
Terrace
Apartments climbed the fence
around this swimming pool - and
a
five-year-old girl fell in. A
maintenance man pulled her from
the
water, and performed CPR until
the
ambulance arrived. Bree Steffen

20:09 "Almost everyone who lives
in these apartments speaks
Burmese. Police had to bring in
a translator to try to get to
the
bottom of this - making an
already
difficult situation even
harder."
Lt. Ron Northcutt, Oklahoma City
Police
Department - Clip 1 17:51 "This
might have been a case of the
parents may not have been paying
much
attention to the kids, I don't
know. But
we're still looking into that."
The accident happened
in an area that was completely
fenced in
and locked up. Officers stress
that
proves you can never be too
careful when
watching your children.
The little girl was taken to
Children's
Hospital, and at last check, she
was still
holding on, in critical
condition.
