A gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo was shot and killed Saturday after it grabbed and dragged a 4-year-old boy who fell into the animal’s enclosure, an official said. Zoo officials said he was alert when he was transported there. The area around the gorilla exhibit was closed off Saturday afternoon as zoo visitors reported hearing screaming. They are still investigating, but zoo officials believe the boy crawled through a railing barrier, then fell into the moat. He said the gorilla didn’t appear to be attacking the child, but the animal was “extremely strong” in an agitated situation.
