Gorilla shot dead after grabbing boy, 4, who fell into zoo enclosure

A special zoo response team has shot and killed a gorilla that grabbed a four-year-old boy who fell into an exhibit moat at a US zoo.

The authorities said the youngster, who fell 10 to 12 feet at Cincinnati Zoo, is expected to recover after being picked up out of the moat and dragged by the gorilla for about 10 minutes.
