A giant, 11-foot alligator snatched and killed a victim from a South Carolina pond Friday. One local claimed the victim was taken while cutting the grass all around pond that their homeowners’ association had failed to cut.

Horry County firefighters were called to the Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht Club for a pond incident.

By 11.45am, authorities determined that an alligator had grabbed a neighbor and fled back to a neighboring retention pond, said spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov.
