Children playing in Ohio creek encounter 7 foot crocodile
It sounds like a scene from a monster movie.
Children from a church group were playing in a creek in West Alexandria, Ohio, on Wednesday evening when one of their leaders spotted a 7-foot-long crocodile swimming nearby.
There were 16 kids -- all first- through sixth-graders -- playing in Bantas Fork Creek, and adults were in the water and on a small bridge to keep an eye on them, according to Rick Turnbull, who helps teach the children.
Another adult "saw something in the water, a shadowy object moving, and he yelled down to the person on that side of the bridge and shouted 'get the kids out of the water,' " Turnbull said.
Rich Denius was in the water with one of his sons and helped get the children to safety. "Give Jesus all the glory for protecting these kids," Denius said.
The crocodile was about 20 feet away by the time everyone got out of the creek. Turnbull said it swam right under the bridge they were standing on.
"He wasn't afraid of us. He swam under it, popped his head up and looked at us," he said.
A wildlife officer was called in and shot the animal. Turnbull said the kids had been taken out of the area before that happened.

Jesus should have intervened a little earlier, and given a thump upside the head to the idiot who decided to release a pet crocodile into a local waterway?
Just sayin’ ....

He gets the glory for this.
