Second Squirrel Attack At Central Florida Retirement Community
NBC Miami ^ | 11/7

Posted on 11/07/2016 6:49:24 PM PST by nickcarraway

A squirrel is dead after the bloodthirsty animal targeted an elderly woman at a central Florida senior community.

Initial reports indicate the attack happened Monday at the Sterling Court Gracious Retirement Living in Deltona.

One week ago, at least three seniors were attacked by a squirrel at the same complex.

The victim in the second attack suffered bites, scratches and a broken wrist after she fell while trying to defend herself from the squirrel, witnesses said.

A staff member shot and killed the squirrel with a BB gun.

Health officials are testing the animal for rabies.

When hiking in the woods, I warn any gullible looking kids too watch out for the vampire squirrels.

I’ll bet somebody there has been feeding those squirrels regularly. I worked with people who had regularly fed the squirrels, and got them to climb up their leg and take a peanut out of their pocket. Could be the squirrels were looking for their regular snack, and got a little crazy when it wasn’t forthcoming.

I’m surprised a nursing home employee happened to have a bb gun handy.

Follow! But! follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth.

A staff member shot and killed the squirrel with a BB gun.

Bring out the Holy BB Gun of Antioch.

It’s the Squirrel Fever.

I’ve seen these outbreaks before.

They go after old people.

They’re attracted to the bright flashes from walkers.

They need to put mud on themselves and their walkers.

Like Schwarzenegger in Predator.

Rub mud all over yourself and then wait in ambush for that evil squirrel.

Then you whack them with your cane.

Cane-Whacked Squirrel is a delicacy in some parts of this country.

Watch out for their buddies the possums.

A possum is like a ninja.

You don’t even see him and bam, he drops on you with that numbchuck tail.

Exactly

I nursed a baby squirrel to adulthood and he was the most loving animal I ever owned but fiercely loyal - attacked anyone else that wasn’t me
