In South Carolina yesterday, an alligator emerged from a pond at the Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht community, grabbed a resident, and pulled the person back into the pond. When Horry County Fire Rescue arrived on the scene, the individual was already dead in the water.
According to WMBF News, a "South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) biologist and an SCDNR-contracted alligator removal service determined that the alligator should be humanely euthanized on site."
Police are still investigating. And no, there doesn't seem to be video of what happened. Fortunately.
