DNA from a coyote that bit a girl on Southern California's Huntington Beach last week matched samples from one of two coyotes shot and killed following the attack, authorities said.
FILE - This aerial photo shows the pier and shoreline in Huntington Beach, Calif., on Oct. 11, 2021. A coyote attacked and injured a girl on Southern California's famed Huntington Beach. A police spokesperson says the attack occurred Thursday, April 28, 2022, at night on the beach on the north side of Huntington Beach Pier.
Huntington Beach police responded and shot two coyotes found in the coastal area south of Los Angeles, police Lt. Shawn Randell said. The girl was with her mother on the sand when she wandered “a mere few feet” and was attacked, Foy said last week. Coyotes are found almost everywhere in California, including cities, and authorities have long warned that small children and pets can be at risk. Last year, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife began workshops to help communities deal with coyotes because of an increase in the number conflicts with people.
