Son was bitten by a coyote Tueday night. Coyote chased his girlfriend into the back of their truck and her screams brought the son running out to see what was going on. The Coyote turned on him and bit him on his lower left leg. He managed to grab it by the back of the neck and hold it down while a firearm was retrieved, and the coyote killed. Most of the event was captured by his outside security cameras.
The carcass was sent off by county animal control for testing, and the results came back just now, positive for rabies.
Son is getting the first post exposure shots now.
Not sure, but this may be the first documented case of an attack in N.C.
Y'all be careful out there!!
Where abouts are you in NC. We have quite a few coyotes right here in Mooresville.
