A 12 foot alligator mauled two boys swimming in a pond west of Lake Worth. One boy, 12 year old Patrick Parler, was critically injured with four abdominal punctures and underwent five hours of surgery. Wildlife officers chased and baited the gator with beef kidney but could not trap the large animal. They reported five gators in the pond, with the big predator still at large as officers continued the hunt. The incident followed feeding by residents, which authorities blamed for making gators less wary of humans.
