BUFORD - A 3-year-old boy has died after an accident Sunday night at Bogan Park Aquatic Center in Buford.

Announcement of Devin Moore's death was made Monday morning by the Gwinnett County Police Department.

"Firefighters found a 3-year old male child out of the water with CPR in progress by Lifeguards," Lt. Thomas Rutledge of the Gwinnett County Fire Department said Sunday night. "Firefighters continued resuscitative efforts enroute to the hospital."

Rutledge said the Moore's 4-year-old sister was also injured but was successfully resuscitated by lifeguards at the pool and was alert and breathing when she was also taken to Gwinnett Medical Center by firefighters.

The siblings were at the pool with their mother as part of a private rental.

"This is an indoor playground pool ranging in depth from 1.6 to 3.6 feet deep," said Rutledge. "There were Lifeguards on-duty at the time of the incident."
