The alligator severed 11-year-old Devin Funck's arm Wednesday, according to police.
Officers said the boy and two girls played near a body of water at the Kingspoint subdivision near Slidell when the gator attacked and tried to pull the boy under.
Police said the gator likely swallowed the boy's arm, and officers were searching for the animal around 5 p.m. Wednesday. Around 6:40 p.m., a deputy at the scene said the arm had been recovered and was being rushed to Ochsner hospital.
The boy was airlifted to the hospital, according to officials.
