A 16-year-old girl is receiving rabies shots after she was bitten by a coyote Friday night in the Vista Heights neighborhood of The Meadows subdivision in Castle Rock.
Heather McDonald said she was in her boyfriend’s backyard, which opens to a green space, after they returned from her high school homecoming game and were approached by the coyote.
“He came up and sniffed me once and bit me,” she said. “He wasn’t like growling at me or anything like that, and he just hovered at our feet, and we didn’t know what to do.”
McDonald is the sixth person in Colorado to be bitten by a coyote this year.
