Jefferson, WI (Northland's NewsCenter) The pool at a high school in Jefferson, Wisconsin remains closed after a student and gym teacher were injured when they were sucked through a broken underwater viewing window in the school's pool Wednesday.

Investigators are trying to figure out what caused the window to break.

We do know police are interviewing other students in the class in hopes of figuring out why the window broke.
