BROOMFIELD — The coyote that may have bitten a 2-year-old Colorado boy earlier this week was put down by wildlife officers this morning.
The boy was walking with his dad when the attack occurred on a trail near Colorado Highway 7 and Sheridan Boulevard in Broomfield. The boy was treated for puncture wounds and released.
The coyote was found in the same area where the boy was bitten but authorities said they are not certain that the animal they killed was the same that bit the boy.
Officials said that the coyote will be tested for illness.
