An 85-year-old woman was killed Monday after an incident involving an alligator in southeast Florida, according to wildlife officials.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office responded Monday to a 911 call about an apparent alligator bite in St. Lucie, Florida, the FWC said. FWC spokesperson Arielle Callender told CNN the woman was with her dog when the incident happened and the dog survived, although its condition was currently unknown.
Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara told WPTV he estimated the alligator to be close to 11-feet long. The woman was recovered and the alligator involved in the incident was captured by a contracted nuisance alligator trapper, FWC said. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the victim,” the FWC statement said. According to the statement, serious injuries caused by alligators are rare in the state of Florida.
