FOXNews.com – Police in NYC suburb warn parents to keep children indoors after 2 coyote attacks on kids
RYE, N.Y. — Residents of a New York City suburb were warned Wednesday to keep small children indoors after coyotes attacked and injured two little girls just days apart.
Officers and wildlife experts have been authorized to shoot the coyotes on sight and to kill any that are trapped, Rye Police Chief William Connors said.
“We will work with wildlife experts to see why this is happening and what we can do in the long term, but to be clear, this is a threat to public safety, and we are treating it as such,” Connors said.
