Apparent alligator attack during Hurricane Ida leaves Louisiana man missing

Slidell, Louisiana — An elderly Slidell man was apparently attacked by an alligator during Hurricane Ida and hasn't been seen since, CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL-TV reports.

St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office deputies said the 71-year-old was in his shed when, his wife told them, said she heard a commotion. Their home is near Lake Pontchartrain and the shed reportedly had several feet of water inside from Ida's storm surge. The shed is under the house, which is raised and surrounded by a marsh and wildlife refuge.
