WILD TIGER IN SAN FRANCISCO ZOO MAULS 2 AND KILLS 1
SAN FRANCISCO - A tiger that mauled a zookeeper last year escaped from its pen at the San Francisco Zoo on Tuesday, killing one man and injuring two others before police shot it dead, authorities said.
The three men were in their 20s; they were together and were not zoo employees, San Francisco Police spokesman Steve Mannina said. They were attacked just after the 5 p.m. closing time, on the east end of the 125-acre grounds.
MSNBC News has got the whole story and we'll update you with the names of the victims as they are released.
