Another azzinine campfire thread. Who cares????????? I care. Never know when 'planet of the apes' might actually happen. I figure it's at least as probable as the zombie apocalypse.

Yes. Interested in the details, and amazed they had the expertise and equipment on had to handle the event in short order.
Any one know what the duration of the event was from beginning to end?

Since it was East of the Mississippi I'd bet it was a standard round but if he'd have been "out west" then it would be a magnum

I got a little bit of a behind the scenes tour at Marine World in Vallejo CA about 20 years ago. There was an announcers booth toward the rear of the stands where the lion/tiger show was performed. There was a gun locker in there, and for every show a rifleman hand to open the locker, load the rifle, and be on standby. The rifle was a BRNO .375 H&H, I don't remember the model number but it was the one with the integral flip up peep sight.
I have no clue if they continue that practice. But suffice to say, I wouldn't be surprised if a Zoo had a true fighting rifle on the grounds.

I heard he missed twice, so I'm assuming a 270 Kimber Montana.

A bit off subject but a good friend of mine and archaeologist was doing museum conservation work at the American Museum of Natural History. His boss came up to him one day and said "Hey Alan, you know something about guns, don't you????"
Well naturally Bud told him a little (har, har). Boss brought out 3 or 4 rifles, can't remember the number now, and said "these are some of the rifles they used to collect specimens with back in the day, would you clean em up???" They were all G&H Springfields in .30 Govt. 1906.

back in the day when I worked at a couple zoos in MI I did see the rifles a time or two but was never involved in the drills and don't remember the caliber(s). Open-sighted long action bolts though.
other throw-away musings...
-- one of the zoos had to quickly re-design their lion exhibit after a kid hopped a 5 foot barrier fence and walked up to the main pen by the employee access doors. He's turned around faced out and a lioness took advantage of the distration, reached out hooked his jacket collar with a claw. They grabbed him away in a minor tug of war. (I heard about it the next day).
-- I've darted several animals (a tiger, 4-5 wolves, a lynx, and a leopard) and it takes a good 20 minutes of pissyness before they're out enough to approach --- except the lynx. The guy manning the gun hit it in the femur and that intra-medullary injection dropped it right out of the tree like a stone. (we had to use a drill chuck to get the dart out)
the zoo vet there had a tackle box full of mangled steel darts angry animals had shredded while going night-night. there really was no choice but to shoot the gorilla

There was a witness who was telling about the "barriers"
The three barriers consisted of bushes, a 10 or 15 foot drop down a wall to the enclosure floor and the moat. No fence or guard rail at all

all in keeping with the feel-good "open air enclosures" they're going to now. Don't want to have any fences obscuring the view* *this design is predicated on the public not being stupid enough to drop the 15' from the wall to the moat but, well, you know how some people's kids are....

The witness also said that the woman turned away for a few seconds was astonished how quickly the kid was out and over the wall before anyone really grasped what was going on

I hope the tacticool team that took the big ape out were wearing GoPros. Anxiously awaiting the leaked video.

The last I read, they said, "..it was a few seconds, but could have been a minute." The child had been telling her, "I want to swim with the gorillas." She kept telling him no. Can't imagine why she didn't move him along from the area. Or at least watch him more closely, knowing he wanted to touch the hot stove so to speak...
