Two alligators involved in Disney World attack on boy, says father
Associated Press in Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Sunday 3 July 2016 20.37 BST
The father of a toddler killed by an alligator at a Disney resort last month told rescue officials two alligators were involved in the attack, according to emails from the Reedy Creek fire department.
Matt Graves said he was attacked by a second alligator as he tried to reach his two-year-old son, Lane, after the boy was pulled into the water outside the upscale Grand Floridian Resort.
Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission officials have said they are “confident” they caught the alligator that killed the boy.
Agency records list 15 alligators caught on Disney property from the beginning of this year through May. Six were trapped after the 14 June attack.
