At around 5:50 p.m. on Friday, Vallejo police responded to reports of a man floating face down in the swimming pool of the Vallejo Mobile Estates on Lincoln Road.

Authorities said the man was swimming with his two sons, both 6 and 8 and with autism when he reportedly went into distress.

The Vallejo Fire Department and Medic Ambulance were called to the scene.

Vallejo PD said Police Corporal Travis Aspegren and Officer Jake Estrada responded to the scene also.

The two officers were the first to arrive and immediately dove into the pool to pull the man out.
