The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is investigating a possible coyote attack on a grocery store clerk in downtown Lafayette.
The reported attack was said to have occurred Tuesday at the Diablo Foods market on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. Investigators said it would be the third biting incident in the area since July. If confirmed, it would be the eighth in the state this year, CDFW said. Just the aggressive nature of this particular coyote that would be going up and biting people completely unprovoked is unusual as well, CDFW Capt. Patrick Foy said.
