A 16 year old teenager who resides in Boise Idaho jumped into the Boise River on Friday evening around six o' clock in the afternoon from the red walking bridge most likely by accident. The Boise Fire Rescue answered an emergency to assist the teenager who was trapped under a bridge pillar underneath the Main Street Bridge by using an inflatable boat to rescue him. After the teenager was checked by medical personnel at the scene of the incident, the teenager was reunited with his parents who are grateful that the police, firefighters and medical responders saved his life, Link is kivitv.com/news/boise-fir...

As far as I know, I think the teen jumped into the river by showing off and not try to end his life.

@Deepizzaguy that is good but still not good because the teen need not need to do that to show off. I hope he learn his lesson
