Two men were pulled from a Wichita area lake Sunday morning.

 Sedgwick County Deputies say a group of friends gathered at Lake Afton, west of Wichita for a birthday party on Saturday night. Members of the group say they heard someone yelling for help from the water around 1am on Sunday morning. Four members of the group entered the water in an attempt to save the man. The drowning man panicked and grabbed one of the the rescuers, forcing them both beneath the water. Neither man resurfaced. The bodies of both men were recovered around 11am yesterday.

No names have been released. The investigation into the incident continue
