A Florida man swam across an alligator-infested lake, survived a gator bite, and then launched a violent attack on sheriff’s deputies with garden shears before being fatally shot, in a bizarre and deadly sequence of events that could only unfold in the Sunshine State.
The incident occurred on Memorial Day morning, May 26, 2025, in Lakeland, Florida. The man, identified as 42-year-old Timothy Schulz, was reportedly under the influence of methamphetamine and had been released from jail just days earlier on drug charges.
