SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. -- A 2-year-old girl was killed in Sumter County when a pet Burmese python strangled her Wednesday morning. An official with Florida Fish and Wildlife confirmed the death.
The incident took place at a home on County Highway 466 between Lady Lake and Oxford (see map). The call for assistance came it just before 10:00am.
According to officials, the victim's father had locked the pet snake up in a cage Tuesday night, but when he awoke Wednesday he found the snake on the little girl and she had a bite mark.
Officials said the father then repeatedly stabbed the python. The snake was found under a dresser when deputies arrived.
The victim's parents were identified as 23-year-old Jaren Ashley Hare and Charles Jason Darnell.
