A 77-year-old woman was bitten by an alligator near a pond in a gated community in Florida. The 7-foot, 10-inch alligator responsible for the attack has been captured, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement to CBS News.
After the woman was bitten, a witness kept an eye on the alligator until first responders were able to capture it. There were no other alligators in the area that fit the size and description, so officials are confident they removed the correct alligator from the area, FWC said in the statement.
