Cows escape, one shot dead by officer

A small herd of cows somehow got loose and wandered into a residential Pico Rivera, Calif., neighbourhood Tuesday night. Media footage showed the cows calmly gathering about 9 p.m. in a cul-de-sac. A few appeared to be munching on a residence’s front lawn. At one point during the night, the cows began to charge and one was fatally shot by law enforcement. Deputies attempted to keep the cows together while waiting for the department’s mounted enforcement detail to arrive with horse trailers.
