HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - Police shot and killed a bull after the animal escaped from a livestock business and rampaged through Harrisonburg, charging at bystanders and vehicles.
The Black Angus was on the loose for about an hour Thursday, making its way through an apartment complex, a city park and a residential neighborhood.
Harrisonburg police Sgt. R. Pollard says the bull was foaming at the mouth and appeared to be "in a deranged state."
Pollard says the bull's owners told police to kill the animal after it couldn't be controlled. Police shot and killed the bull after cornering it in a backyard.
