HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A young girl is in the ICU in critical condition Tuesday night after she wandered off and fell into a pond in southwest Harris County, according to authorities.



At about 4 p.m., Harris County sheriff's deputies responded to a possible drowning call at the Anderson Lake subdivision in the 4400 block of Waterside Cove Lane near Sam Houston Tollway.




At the scene, deputies learned that a neighborhood employee had found the child, possibly a 7-year-old, in the pond. CPR was performed and the girl was taken to the hospital.





It's unclear how the child wandered off or if anyone will be facing charges.
