Alligator kills woman
This morning, in Hilton Head, South Carolina, a woman was out walking her dog when the dog was attacked by a 9 foot long (3 meter) alligator. The woman went to her dogs rescue but the alligator was a lot faster than the woman thought it could be.
The gator, grabbed the woman, drug her into the water and killed her. The gator was later captured and killed by wildlife agents. The dog is fine.
One heck of a lot of alligators in the southern U.S. Not at all uncommon to find them in your swimming pool or in your back yard, if you live near fresh water.
