Florida hiker dies after 13-foot alligator attack; boyfriend recalls attack 'felt like it went on forever'

Brittany Clark, 31, was fatally attacked by a 13-foot alligator in the Econlockhatchee River in central Florida during a hike with her boyfriend Chance Allison and roommate Jayden Hernandez. Allison initially thought she was joking as the gator surfaced; he jumped in to help as the animal dragged Clark underwater, and the attack lasted about 30 to 40 seconds. A deputy responding to the scene attempted to save her with a tourniquet, but Clark died from blood loss. The group had joked about there being an alligator earlier; Clark’s dog Hokie and cat Shady were with her boyfriend, who is planning a celebration of life.

Two 15-year-old suspects, Dominique Harris and Jarreth Plunkett, allegedly fatally stabbed Bobby Maher in front of his girlfriend at a mall in Wyoming, following a weeks-long feud and a confrontation during spring break.

The suspects were charged as adults with conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated assault, battery, and theft, and had their bonds set at $500,000 and $450,000, respectively.
