Huntington Police Shoot Runaway Bull
WEST VIRGINIA....
A 1,500-pound bull jumped from a moving cattle trailer near the Hal Greer Boulevard exit off Interstate 64 Friday morning. It spent most of the day in the woods below Huntington High School before finally being tracked down and shot by Huntington police officers. At about 8:00 P.M. officers spotted it in a wooded area near Norwood Road, about 150 yards from the neighborhood. The decision to terminate it came because night was falling and the bull only had two open areas to flee...the interstate or into the neighborhood, where kids were playing Friday evening. Wayne County resident Willis Mills cautioned police about the bull's aggressiveness, saying that was why he was taking it to the butcher when it escaped.
