Multiple outlets report that off-duty ICE officer Gregory Simmonds saves a 6-year-old girl from a drowning emergency at a Florida community pool. Fox News describes Simmonds jumping into the pool fully clothed after noticing the child was in distress, reaching her and providing emergency life support. Fox reports that Simmonds performs CPR until the child revives. The New York Post also cites closed-circuit pool footage showing Simmonds immediately reacting to what he sees and quickly entering the water to render aid.
In a separate Fox report, the officer is described as relying on an instinctive “sixth sense” to respond to the situation during a soccer party where the child becomes unconscious. The report states that after the rescue, Simmonds later delivers a message to critics, though details of those comments are not fully consistent across the accounts summarized here.
Overall, the reports agree on the core facts: Simmonds intervenes during a pool emergency involving a 6-year-old, enters the water without delay, and provides CPR that helps the child recover.
