6-Year-Old Drowns In Backyard Pool

SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) ―

Montgomery County police have identified a six-year-old boy found at the bottom of a Silver Spring swimming pool who was later pronounced dead.

Police say Scott Tran of Gaithersburg was at a large family gathering in the 13100-block of New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring Wednesday.

Several other children were at the home when a nine-year-old boy saw Tran at the bottom of the pool's deep end.

That boy pulled Tran to the surface and adults began CPR.

Emergency personnel took Tran to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say the investigation hasn't revealed anything suspicious about Tran's death. Police initially reported the boy was seven-years-old.
