An 11-year-old boy is seriously injured after being attacked by an alligator while fishing at Nelson’s Fish Camp in Umatilla, Florida, on June 27. Multiple outlets report that the boy is bitten by an alligator measuring about 8½ feet while he is at the resort during a family trip. The Independent says the boy is releasing a fish when the attack occurs. The boy suffers the loss of his right hand as a result of the bite. The Oregonian and The Mirror both report that the boy’s father jumps into the water in an attempt to help. Both accounts describe the father trying to pry the alligator’s mouth open during the incident. The Independent similarly describes the father wrestling with the animal to save his son. The reports agree on the location, the boy’s age, the outcome of the injury, and that his father intervenes during the attack.
