that bites...
I live in Florida.
We have a few........................
Fight like hell. Great advice. First line of defense is to use gator repellant spray and wear little bells on your shoes. /s

One of the locals asked if I'd brought my skyhook with me....
He responded to my puzzled look by informing me, "they can get to 35 mph pretty quick, and you'll never see them coming out of the brush, so a skyhook is your only hope of escape."
Horrible way to go. They drown you first. The bite probably hurts, but the drowning sucks.
We live in Sun City and the local report is that it was a woman who was killed. Prayers up for her, just horrific. It seems she was walking her dog, and early reports are she was not real close to the lagoon, that the gator attacked her and dragged her into the water. Someone spotted a large gator guarding what was a body.

That’s some solid advice right there.
When I was young, I remember people with alligator purses and shoes etc. Haven’t seen any in a while. Too may of the stories nowadays of people killed by gators. I blame environmentalists and animal-rights nuts. Maybe I am wrong, but they generally screw up things for people.
Gator bite ping!
I heard the deceased person is a woman, but -- regardless -- prayers for this deceased person.
My sister lives near a lake with alligators, where we swam.
I live in Sun City. There are at least two gators in every lagoon. I encounter gators on the golf course every day. Old people don’t run too fast. What if the gators have turned into zombies? I’m told you have to shoot them in the back of the head to kill them.
