A coyote attacked two young children in a University City mall parking lot around 9 p.m. on Nov. 25 near the Westfield UTC mall. One child, a 3-year-old, was bitten on the arm and hip and was taken to a hospital for treatment. The second injured child also received hospital treatment. Both children were swabbed to obtain DNA samples, and the samples were sent to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's forensics lab for testing. DNA from the coyote matched the samples. The coyote was located with assistance from U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services and euthanized; officials did not disclose when, where or how it was found.
