Parks & Wildlife ‘aggressively pursuing’ coyote responsible for attacking 4-year-old

By Aaron Vitatoe | KKTV-TV CBS 11 Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are “aggressively pursuing” a coyote they said attacked a 4-year-old girl on Thanksgiving. They said the attack happened late Thursday afternoon in northern Colorado Springs, in a neighborhood east of Monument Creek and I-25, near the Air Force Academy. According to CPW, witnesses told officials the girl was attacked when she and another child approached a coyote crouching behind a tree, thinking it was a dog.
