An elderly woman was killed by two alligators after falling into a pond near her Florida home - with her panicked splashes attracting the predators who attacked her before she could swim out.
The woman, whose identity has not yet been released, was seen falling into an alligator-infested pond near her home at the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club in Englewood Friday night at around 7.47pm, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators say that as the woman was struggling to stay afloat, two alligators were seen swimming toward her. They then grabbed her before she could escape.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and an investigation is now ongoing.
In the meantime, trappers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have removed the alligators from the pond. Her death is just the latest in a recent string of alligator attacks in the southern United States.
