Newly released bodycam footage captures a Florida deputy’s desperate attempt to save the 31-year-old woman fatally mauled by a 12-foot alligator last weekend.

The harrowing clip shows the officer running through the brush on Sunday and emerging at the sandy bank of the Econlockhatchee River, where moments earlier Brittany Clark was viciously attacked by a gator while swimming with her boyfriend.

Clark and another individual, presumably her boyfriend Chance Allison, are seen under a tarp next to the shoreline.

my friend said that they had to do it at night and sink the bodies with rocks because for some stupid reason killing gators is illegal?

“Never understood these asinine warnings when they show absolutely nothing.”

Simple. Clickbait

Back in the day I used my 8mm.

Im from Florida. When I was a kid it was a $500 fine and up to one year in jail for killing a gator. Thanks to that law they are now totally over populated.

[Chickensoup]

They should be VERY VERY RARE

[Chickensoup]

Stupid laws

Need to bring back alligator shoes and purses. I have my grandmother’s and I used to have them as child.

[TexasGator]

“They should be VERY VERY RARE”

I was hoping but they are not commanding a premium.

[Chickensoup]

if shoes and bags came back in style they would be prized skins.

[TexasGator]

LOL! I first thought you were referring to the rifle.

[Chickensoup]

Vintage alligator purses are commanding up to 100 dollars.

[Chickensoup]

No no no no!

The alligators.

Purses
shoes
Boots
Bags
upholstery ...

I agree you could kill off half the gators in Florida and there would still be too many. They now have a gator season for hunting them but I dont think it even makes a dent.

I feel the same way about Bulldogs.

I would have them clean out all the ponds and streams. All.
