Lightning
injures 17
grid players
MIAMI (UPI) — A bolt of
lightning struck and seriously
injured a 14-year-old high
school junior varsity football
player during practice Tuesday,
stunning 16 other players and
three coaches.
Julio Portela was the worst
injured of the 23 persons rushed
to two area hospitals after the
incident. He was listed in “very
critical” condition at Baptist
Hospital.
Two other youths were
hospitalized in serious condition
and the remainder of the
players and coaches were
treated and released.

Rossignol termed the situa

alligators like Charlie are “the

Despite this, he said Charlie
would only be removed from
the pond if a complaint was
made. And the alligator cannot
be killed without permission of
the commission director.
But Mindykowski believes the
commission discourages people
from playing with alligators as
a matter of course. If it
counseled otherwise and some
thing happened, it might be
sued by the victim, he said.
