    A South Florida woman is being hailed a hero after she rushed to aid a 4-year-old girl pulled from a swimming pool where, according to her family, she nearly drowned.

    Relatives said Londyn fell in the community pool, located at 6394 NW 26th St., in Sunrise, just before 2 p.m. Saturday.

    Shaunna McWilliams, who is credited with saving Londyn, said she was inside her apartment when she heard someone screaming for help. She said she ran outside to find Londyn’s aunt pulling the little girl from the pool. “I’ve seen them bringing the baby out of the pool, so I just walked over to make sure everything was OK,” she said.
