Robins Air Force Base, Ga. -- Four minors, all under the age of 18, were injured at the Heritage Club Pool men’s locker room at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, July 22, 2024. One was treated on scene and released. The other three were transported to local hospitals, where one later died.
“Our hearts are broken for these individuals and their families. We remain committed to supporting our Airmen and their loved ones as we navigate this difficult time for Team Robins,” said Col. Deedrick Reese, Installation and 78th Air Base Wing commander. “We want to thank the first responders – including lifeguards, installation and community personnel – who responded to this tragic incident with compassion and professionalism.”
Because the individuals are minors, Robins AFB will not release their names. Chaplain support is available for the individuals, their families, and those who were on scene.
The incident is currently under investigation and details will not be released until the investigation is complete.
