On Sunday, November 4, a boy of about three years old was at the Pittsburgh Zoo looking at the exhibit of the African painted dogs. He fell off the observation area, which is 14 feet above the enclosure, into the exhibit with the dogs, where he was killed by them. "Pittsburgh police and emergency teams immediately responded to the situation, but there was nothing that could be done," said the zoo's president, Barbara Baker. The incident occurred around 11:45 a.m. and other visitors reported to staff members, who moved seven dogs out of the enclosure, but there were still four in there. The four dogs did not respond to the efforts and one was even shot and killed by a police officer. The Pittsburgh Zoo and its affiliated aquarium are currently closed.
