4 chimps loose in monkey house in Swedish zoo, 3 shot dead.
The chimps are inside the monkey house, but the staff have not been able to get the three uninjured ones back into their enclosure, the animal park management said in a statement. The wounded animal returned to its enclosure on its own.
The situation is “extremely serious and tragic, both for our animals and our employees,” the animal park said, adding it did not know how the primates got out. “Our focus right now is to get an overview of where the four are now so that we can start working on getting them back to their enclosures in a safe way,” Annika Troselius, a spokeswoman for the group operating the zoo, told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
