Louisiana Boy in Critical Condition after Alligator Attack

An 11-year-old Louisiana boy remains in critical condition after his arm was bitten off by an alligator believed to be between 10 to 12 feet long.

 

Devin Funck had been swimming with two friends in a pond near his home northeast of New Orleans when the alligator snagged him and took him under water. Funck reportedly gouged the alligator’s eye and was released but not before losing his arm.

 

The two friends with Funck ran for help and when rescue workers arrived they found him floating in the water. He was airlifted to a hospital while wildlife officials located the alligator and removed the boy’s arm from its stomach.

 

It is not known if the arm will be successfully reattached.
