11-Foot Alligator Attacks 85-Year-Old Woman

A massive alligator was captured on camera attacking an unsuspecting elderly woman walking her dog. Gloria Serge, 85, was standing nearby a lake outside Spanish Lakes Fairways, a retirement community in Fort Pierce.

An alligator can be seen surfacing nearby and approaching her. It was too fast that she only managed to walk a few feet before it scrambled out of the water and dragged her to her death, New York Post reported.

In the footage obtained by Inside Edition, a neighbor named Carole Thomas, 76 saw the attack and immediately called 911. During the call, the operator asked about the size of the gator, and Thomas said it was huge.

The operator also asked if the woman being attacked was alive, and Thomas said, "Yes." However, while talking, Thomas noted the alligator pulled the woman into the lake. Then she exclaimed, "It's too late. She's gone."

Thomas was visibly hysterical while telling the operator she was trying to stick a pole to help while they were talking over the phone.

Thomas told Inside Edition that the incident was horrible for the victim's family, and she spoke to them about it, and they were devastated.

The 11-foot gator was reportedly a staple in the area and had a name, Henry. He was captured by the trappers and was euthanized.

Alligator at Walmart in North Carolina

Meanwhile, an alligator living outside a Walmart in Eastern North Carolina sparked debate online about whether it will be relocated or left alone.

On Feb. 24, city officials in Havelock, located about 130 miles southeast of Raleigh, announced the discovery of the alligator. According to the post on Facebook, the reptile was spotted at the retention pond at the Havelock Walmart. The public was urged not to approach or feed the beast.

It also contacted the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to ensure it is aware of the alligator.

However, many locals in Havelock said they didn't want the alligator to be relocated. The reptile has been around long enough for some residents to name it Ollie, according to News Observer.

Frank L Sullivan Sr. said that if someone gets attacked, it's more likely that the person jumped the fence and deserves whatever Ollie Gator gives them. Melinda McElroy and many others urged the other to leave the gator alone as it has been there for years.

Marcus Beeks Jr. suggested that if Ollie wanted to attack people, they would have done it already.

Meanwhile, some netizens argued that it should be relocated for their safety.

Macey Markward said she expects to walk and see an alligator in her car whenever she visits the store. Jimmy Sanders Sr. asked the others if they hadn't seen an alligator climb a chain link fence.

In a previous report from Science Times, an alligator was spotted standing and climbing the chain link fence at Naval Ari Station Jacksonville in Florida with ease. A woman driving by captured how the gator did it as if it climbs fences all its life before doing a belly-flop and leaving the area.
