WEBSTER, Texas (KTRK) -- A 3-year-old was rushed to the hospital after he was pulled from an apartment complex pool on Sunday, July 3, officials said.

At about 1:45 p.m., police responded to a call reporting a toddler was found floating in one of the pools at the Baystone Apartments located at 800 West NASA Parkway.
