Snipers set their scopes on the pond while divers searched the pond for hours, eventually leading them to find the elderly mother, who is now in critical condition. Unfortunately, the son was found dead.

There were reportedly around 5 alligators surrounding the team, but luckily, no one needed to discharge their guns.
According to WSVN, good samaritans dove in to help the victims, followed by the police and search teams. Those are some brave folks. Definitely of the Florida variety.
