Second Squirrel Attack At Central Florida Retirement Community

A squirrel is dead after the bloodthirsty animal targeted an elderly woman at a central Florida senior community.

Initial reports indicate the attack happened Monday at the Sterling Court Gracious Retirement Living in Deltona.

One week ago, at least three seniors were attacked by a squirrel at the same complex.

The victim in the second attack suffered bites, scratches and a broken wrist after she fell while trying to defend herself from the squirrel, witnesses said.

A staff member shot and killed the squirrel with a BB gun.

Health officials are testing the animal for rabies.
