Bull on the loose hits 2 women, breaks fences

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A bull on the loose in southern Utah knocked over two women and smashed through several fences before a police killed it.

Cedar City Police said in a news release Monday that reports about the bull came in at 7 a.m. Monday. After the bull knocked over the first woman, officers temporarily had it cornered in the backyard of a house before the bull broke through the fences and charged at officers.

After fleeing the neighborhood, the bull charged and hit a second woman. Shortly after, an officer rammed into the bull with his car. That slowed the bull, but didn't stop him. Police then killed the bull.

The two women struck by the bull suffered minor injuries. Police are still investigating who the bull belonged to and how it escaped.
