The attack happened around 12 p.m. at the Spanish Lakes Fairways neighborhood in St. Lucie County, when locals said the big alligator emerged from the water and took her, according to a report.

The alligator initially pursued the dog prior to turning its attention to the elderly lady, witnesses said.
Authorities reacted to the scene and a St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office helicopter was released to find the predator.
Trappers found the alligator, approximated to weigh in between 600 to 700 pounds, at the bottom of the lake, where it was caught.
“He combated respectable. Definitely combated respectable,” Nuisance Alligator trapper Robert Lilly said.
“Snagged him on the bottom. He never ever emerged. He remained down the entire time. Got a 2nd hook in him and after that a difficult line in him so we might get him up.”

The identity of the victim has actually not been validated, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission keeps the rarity of alligator-related injuries, the report kept in mind.
“The FWC positions the greatest concern on public safety and administers a Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program (BREEZE) to attend to problems worrying particular alligators thought to position a hazard to individuals, animals or property,” a FWC declaration checked out.
