Tiger kills keeper, shot dead at zoo
A TIGER escaped its enclosure at Cologne Zoo in western Germany yesterday and killed a female keeper before being shot dead by the zoo's director, police said.
The tiger managed to get from the enclosure to an adjacent storage building, where it attacked the 43-year-old keeper, said police spokesman Stefan Kirchner. "It appears the gate wasn't properly shut," Kirchner said. The zoo's director used a rifle to shoot the animal dead through the storage building's skylight before it could make its way to the visitor areas.
