***STPSO Investigating After Apparent Alligator Attack***

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating after an apparent alligator attack, which occurred around midday Monday (August 30).

At approximately noon Monday a resident in Avery Estates off Highway 90 in Slidell contacted the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office after her 71-year-old husband was attacked and apparently killed by an alligator while walking in flood waters following Hurricane Ida.

She told deputies she was inside her residence when she heard a commotion and went outside to see a large alligator attacking her husband.

She immediately ran to her husband’s aide in an attempt to stop the attack. Once the attacked stopped, she pulled her husband out of the flood waters, and returned inside to gather first aide supplies.

When she returned and realized the severity of his injuries, she immediately got into her pirogue and went to higher ground, which was approximately a mile away, to get help. When she returned her husband was no longer lying on the steps.

STPSO used high water vehicles and flatboats in an attempt to locate the victim, but as of this time all attempts have been futile.
The incident is under investigation and no other information is available at this time.

Sheriff Randy Smith warns residents to be extra vigilant with walking in flooded areas as wildlife has been displaced as well during this storm and alligators and other animals may have moved closer into neighborhoods.

You’re 71 years old, survived the hurricane, survived the pandemic, only to get eaten by a fricking alligator. Sometimes life just ain’t right.

This is why you shoot every gator on site.

They are not friends and we day way too much to protect them. We need to be culling them.

So this gator got the f&ck out of town or ate the whole body of a grown man and some of the body cannot be found.

Next they will say the gator got in someones Carolina dropped 4x4 truck, ate the driver because he was stupid for dropping the bed of the truck, put on the drivers flat bill cap, and drove to Florida to hang with Florida man.

It sounds like something fishy or gatory is going on.

Yeah. Shoot every alligator because one time an alligator killed somebody in Louisiana.

(And if you read the story, it's unlikely that an alligator was involved in this case).
