There are heroes, and heroines, in the world. Be thankful that there are. State trooper plunges into icy Vermont pond to save 8-year-old girl
Two young girls broke through the ice on a pond in Vermont. The elderly homeowner was able to pull one to shore, but could not reach the other and called 911.
Trooper Michelle Archer was nearby and arrived less than five minutes later, police said. She pulled a rope and flotation device from her cruiser, ran to the pond and swam to the girl, according to body camera video released by state police. She swam back to shore with the girl, and a second trooper who arrived as she was bringing her out of the water carried the child to a waiting ambulance.
The girl made a full recovery.
Vermont State Police leadership have commended Troopers Archer and Keith Cote and the homeowner "for their selfless, heroic conduct, and all three have been recommended to receive the agency’s Lifesaving Award,” state police said.
Not everything in the world is awful, even if it feels that way on some days.
