Sad Sheep Security Story


A bighorn sheep escaped from the Los Angeles Zoo on Saturday and was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver.

The incident was reported at around 2:20 p.m. Officials said the animal took off into Griffith Park as park rangers tried to catch the animal.

About 15 minutes later, Los Angeles police said the female sheep was located and contained in the 2200 block of North Commonwealth Avenue in Los Feliz. Before authorities could corral the sheep, it was struck and killed by a car.

Officials were unsure how the animal escaped from the zoo.
