The Indianapolis teen told Fox 59 that she was walking by an apartment complex Sunday when she noticed some children playing in the courtyard near a swimming pool. She looked away for a moment, and when she looked back, she realized something was very, very wrong.

A 3-year-old was in the pool even though it was closed for the day, and no lifeguard was on duty. Her friends were throwing a hose into the water to try to rescue her, but it wasn’t working.

McGillis knew she had to do something.

“She’s not dying on my hands,” the 13-year-old said, “so I was just jumping in the water.”
