Deputies in Orlando are searching for a child who was apparently dragged into a lake by an alligator at the Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The child, who is about 2 years old, was dragged into Seven Seas Lagoon around 9:30 p.m. ET, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Rose Silva said.
Crews are currently searching by helicopter and a dive team is en route, Silva said.
According to several tweets, the child was on the beach during a “movie night” event when the incident occurred.
