Its going to be interesting to watch how what is finally discovered about this incident with what the Zoo initially claimed.

Gotta believe video footage will help figure this out. Cops probably appealing to visitors to see what’s in their viewfinders. Probably some park cams running too.

It's beginning to look a lot like the zoo's only fault is they didn't have an additional moat and a 20 foot wall- to keep people out. These three guys drove 50 miles on Christmas day to go to the zoo? The dead kid's parents say they don't know the two brothers. According to one report, the two brothers were initially uncooperative with the cops. Could this have been a gang initiation?

"The paramedics and driver were soon joined by the four police officers, who distracted the tiger with the red lights of their two patrol cars before shooting her to death with their .40-caliber handguns."

Kudos to those cops. They're a good example, in contrast to the cops at say, Virginia Tech.

After seeing the news coverage of this I assumed that they were using shotguns, hopefully with slugs.
