More than just fireworks
Student killed at local firework display
At 9:45 PM yesterday, at Bayfront Park, the fireworks display was marred by tragedy as two LaSalle high school juniors were attacked by a mysterious animal. The attack and screams were muffled by the explosions of the firework displays. One of the students was declared dead on arrival at Mercy Hospital, while the other was declared in stable condition.
Because both students are minors their names are being held but the student in stable condition reported that the animal resembled an alien from a science fiction movie. This description is being contradicted by the other witness to the attack. Sandra McKenny, an EMT, reported that the creature was a cougar, which ran off after the brutal assault. McKenny tried to perform first aid on the victim, but the injuries were too severe.
Animal control is looking for the animal and is asking that the public to use caution in the area until a thorough search is complete.
Both students' Blood Alcohol Levels were above .08.
