    A family gathering at a San Antonio apartment complex ended in tragedy Wednesday night when a 3-year-old boy drowned in a swimming pool, according to authorities.

    Just before 9:30 p.m., police were called to the complex near Nacogdoches Road and Judson Road on the Northeast Side. Emergency responders arrived to find the child unresponsive.

    Michael Phelps, Rowdy Gaines, and Ryan Lochte (sort of) recently called out USA Swimming during the World Championships. While it may have initially seemed like the criticism was aimed at the athletes, it’s clear now that wasn’t the case.
