another one----SALT SPRINGS, Fla. -- An alligator fatally attacked a 23-year-old woman Sunday near Lake George, authorities said.
The woman had been staying at a secluded cabin near a springhead that feeds into the lake, said Marion County Fire-Rescue Capt. Joe Amigliore.
"The people she was staying with came around and found her inside the gator's mouth," Amigliore said. "They jumped into the water and somehow pulled her out of the gator's mouth."
The woman, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her stepfather, who had tried to help her, was treated on the scene for a hand injury, said Amigliore.
The attack occurred near lakeside recreation 7 miles south of Salt Springs, Amigliore said.
Authorities were searching for the alligator Sunday night.
