UPDATE: Mayor Doug French: "There is an active investigation right now but we can confirm another incident."

MyRye.com also heard from Suzanne Clary over at Jay Heritage Center, who hosted 45 residents attending a coyote info session with Rye PD Commish Connors. Clary's communique: "Yes very dramatic gasp as his beeper went off before he started his presentation that someone had been bitten on North Street. He rushed through background quickly and took a few questions before heading out. They have been advised by DEC that animals should be dealt with aggressively (destroyed when encountered) as they have obviously lost their natural fear of people."
