Police shoot cow

Emailed in by بول , from The Telegraph:

The Belgian blue female was killed after police chased the animal for two hours across Grantham, Lincolnshire.

Police said the cow had become aggressive, charging at several members of the public and a police officer, before jumping the fence into the car park of Belton Lane Community Primary School.

A first shot fired from the top of a large white van parked near to the children's school missed. The van was driven around the corner to get firearms officers closer and the second shot fired killed the cow.


All sounds a bit Keystone Cops to me. Was the copper desperately clinging on to the roof with one hand and firing with the other as the van sped round the corner? For extra comedic effect, with his third hand, the copper is trying to stop his helmet flying off.

This will get round. White van drivers need to be careful, especially on country lanes.

AKH, assuming that cows read The Telegraph or that some idiot reads it out loud to them.

Ooh, that would have made an awesome episode of 'The Bill'!
