GODS LAKE NARROWS, MAN. – Mounties say a seven-year-old girl has drowned while swimming in a lake in northeastern Manitoba.

Police say the girl was with a group of other children on Gods Lake on Sunday, when she went under the water.

The other children ran to get help from an adult, who pulled the girl out of the lake and attempted first aid.
