According to police, officers first responded to the scene around 9:45 p.m. following a service call about a 31-year-old woman who had been found in Lake Michigan in the 7000 Block of S. South Shore Drive, near South Shore Beach.
After arriving on the scene, further investigation indicated that the woman had allegedly drowned a 1-year-old boy in the lake.
Following the discovery, officers took the woman into custody and transported her to the hospital.
