The boy, whose name was not released, was swimming with a group about 100 yards offshore and outside the swim zone, state police said. At some point, one of the other swimmers noticed the teenager hadn't resurfaced. 

A 911 call was made around 7 p.m. at Shannon Beach, and Stoneham and Winchester firefighters responded. Stoneham divers found the boy near where he'd gone missing in water that was about six feet deep, state police said.
