Neighbors devastated by father, daughter double pool drowning | 'The loudest scream I've ever heard'

Описание: Lisa Ridley knew something was wrong when the music abruptly stopped.

The resident along Jefferson Lane in Waldorf could hear the large birthday party in her next-door neighbor's backyard late Saturday afternoon, when suddenly the jovial sounds turned into panic.

She could both see the quick response from firefighters and paramedics and hear the cries of help from her neighbors after a father and his young daughter died in a drowning.

"It was just complete and utter chaos," Ridley told WUSA9. "They were having fun and started cooking when all of a sudden, everyone just started freaking out."

Officials with the Charles County Sheriff's Office said 7-year-old Christian Agboola of Hyattsville jumped into an uncovered and open in-ground pool before 6 p.m. even though she didn't know how to swim. Her 44-year-old father, Haffis Agboola, jumped in the deep end of the pool to rescue her but he was unable to swim, according to investigators.

A 17-year-old boy at the party jumped in to help both of them, but he took too much water. The teenager was sent to Children's National Hospital where he remains in critical but stable condition. » Subscribe to WUSA9: https://bit.ly/2lO8e2F
