Gorilla Escapes From National Zoo 2. Gorilla Attacks 3. Gorilla on the Loose 4. Police Search for Gorilla 5. Gorilla Sightings Reported

A 400-pound gorilla named "Harambe" escaped from the National Zoo in Washington D.C. on Saturday, May 28th. The gorilla then attacked a three-year-old boy who had climbed into the enclosure. The zoo's emergency response team shot and killed the gorilla in order to save the child.

This is not the first time that a gorilla has escaped from the National Zoo. In 2012, a gorilla named "Binti Jua" climbed out of her enclosure and carried a child to safety.

Despite the fact that Harambe had shown aggression towards other gorillas in the past, some people are criticizing the zoo for shooting him. They argue that he could have been subdued using tranquilizers instead.
