I bet the zoo has a policy that if a human enters a cage with a dangerous animal, the protocol is to shoot to kill the animal as a precaution. There probably isn't much time to decide whether or not the gorilla means harm to the human or not.
Sad story. Pretty incredible a 4 year old was able to sneak in. I sure hope more details come to light as to how he got in.
How old was the gorilla that died of natural causes at the Calgary zoo?
