Alligator Killed at Medina Lake by Hondo Youths
Two Hondo youths Lacy and Odie Gilliam shot and killed a seven and a half foot alligator at Medina Lake in Anton Hollow. The 90 pound reptile was brought down with a .22 rifle, striking near the eye. State Game Warden W C Kountz noted the age of the gator likely 18 to 20 years. Authorities speculate the animal may be the pet lost near Medina City years earlier and wandering to the lake.
