She was hanging off,\u201d the caller told the operator. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t have any shoes on. I didn\u2019t feel safe, you know, approaching her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>SPD officers were dispatched to the scene at 5:15 p.m., but before they arrived, the 911 caller reported the woman had jumped.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u201cOh my God, she just jumped! She just jumped,\u201d the caller frantically said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Additional SPD officers were dispatched to the scene along with Chatham County Police Officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel, in efforts to locate the woman, the SPD said. Citizens pitched in with search efforts as well, allowing officers to search from their boats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter searching the area for some time, officers heard gurgling and found that the woman was under the water under the dock that some of them were standing on,\u201d the release stated.<\/p>\n<p>Body-cam footage shows Officer Coleman standing on the dock as murmuring can be heard in the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, she\u2019s down here!\u201d Coleman says as he points below the dock.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The officers attempted to pull her up to the dock, but they were unsuccessful in their efforts, according to the SPD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding that time was of the essence and the woman had been under the freezing water for some time, two officers \u2013 Sgt. Sharif Lockett and Officer William Fitzpatrick \u2013 jumped into the water and collectively worked to pull the woman onto the dock,\u201d the SPD said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, this is definitely one of the top three challenges I\u2019ve faced since I\u2019ve been on,\u201d Lockett <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtoc.com\/2022\/02\/10\/savannah-officers-help-rescue-drowning-woman-who-jumped-bridge\/\">said<\/a>&nbsp;per WTOC.<\/p>\n<p>EMS treated the woman at the scene.
