Residents of the Australian city of Gunbalanya have shot a 4.5-metre-long crocodile over fears that it could attack people swimming in local creeks and billabongs, the Daily Mail wrote on Friday.  

Gunbalanya Community School teacher Dan McLaren told the Daily Mail Australia that crocs of that size pose a threat to the community and occasionally attack dogs. McLaren added that elderly residents still remember when they could swim carelessly, as the crocodiles had been almost entirely wiped out.
