That woman is lucky to be alive.

that’s Florida for you!!!

the guy was carrying and shot the Gator..hope he had a CW permit..but then, I guess that was the last thing on the police’ mind!

Yes. But with her injures, and at the age of 90, she may not be much longer.

“Webb’s leg was nearly severed in the attack. She was taken by helicopter to the hospital, where her leg was amputated below the knee. Hospital officials say she is in critical condition.”

All anyone can do is pray for her and hope she will recover.

He musta been carrying concealed, fairly common here in FL.

Poor lady, I hope she recovers but this would be a lot for a 90 yr old.

Prayers for this poor woman and accolades to the good Samaritan. You hear so many times that people won’t get involved or help... no matter what the circumstances. It makes my heart feel good to know there are still helpful people in the world that are willing to jump in.

If you shoot him in the back of the head with just a little ole .22 it will die immediately. Alligators are very easy to kill.

[Hacklehead]

Way to go Dwain.

"Any alligator that shows aggression towards humans is a problem," said Corporal George Cahill, with the Collier County Sheriff's Office.

I would think any gator, given the chance, would show aggression toward 90-year-old prey.

[CGalen]

It says she was in her front yard when it attacked her. There could be a reason why she, and/or the alligator, walked over to each other.
