Chino Hills Park Closed After Coyote Attacks

CHINO HILLS, Calif. (AP) ― State wildlife officials are temporarily closing a San Bernardino County park where two small children have had run-ins with coyotes in the past few days.

Mike McBride of California's Department of Fish and Game says officers have killed two coyotes and are hunting more at Alterra Park in Chino Hills.

The latest incident was Sunday, when a coyote came after a toddler, whose father kicked the animal and chased it off.

On Friday, a nanny pulled a 2-year-old girl from the jaws of a coyote when the animal attacked the toddler and tried to carry her away in its mouth. The girl suffered wounds to her buttocks and was treated at a hospital.

A San Bernardino sheriff's spokeswoman says the girl is doing fine and undergoing a series of rabies shots.
