#BREAKING - Right now, the search is on for a possible alligator in the Humboldt Park Lagoon. The have been multiple reports of witnesses seeing something in the water. Soon on @CapturedNews.
The search continues. Witnesses just reported seeing it moments ago. The local gator expert is back in the water looking for it. CPD just held a presser to update the public.
“Alligator Bob” just confirmed to us that he did see an alligator.
#GatorWatch2019 continues without me, I’ve seen about enough for the day. Dozens of spectators have arrived as well to help A. Von Humboldt keep an eye out for any invasive reptiles.
The #HumboldtGator was spotted around 10pm tonight, when it surfaced for a few minutes. Traps have been placed in the Lagoon to humanely catch the alligator. 'Alligator Bob' told us that it may take a few days to catch the animal. Now on @CapturedNews#GatorWatch2019
That all for #GatorWatch2019 coverage tonight. Chicago Park District security and CPD have cleared out the park. There is concern that the gator will be spooked and not find it's way to one of the traps. See ya lata alligata! #HumboldtGator
My twitter feed is literally just #HumboldtGator accounts.
