ODD NEWS
Burnt bagel forces city hall evacuation
PORTLAND, Ore. — An overdone bagel forced the evacuation of Portland's City Hall.
The Oregonian reports that City Hall emptied for about 20 minutes Wednesday morning while firefighters dealt with the burning bagel in the break room of Mayor Sam Adams' office. There's no immediate word on who burned the bagel in the
toaster oven or what type of bagel it was.
Escaped bull shot, killed by SWAT
City commissioners were meeting at the time and joined those who took to the sidewalks. Adams apologized for the interruption after the evacuation.
RIDGEFIELD, Wash. — A Washington state SWAT officer
shot and killed a young bull after deputies, the animal's owner and others failed in a five-hour attempt to stop it from running loose near Ridgefield.
Sgt. Steve Shea told The Vancouver Columbian officers decided to kill the animal Tuesday because it could have caused a collision on a road.
The escaped bull was running around Whipple Creek Regional Park.
The owner tried putting grain
in a can and shaking it, but the bull allowed her to approach to only about 20 feet before bolting.
A Ridgefield woman riding a horse at the park tried to corral the bull but her horse spooked and bucked her off.
After the bull was shot, a rendering business pulled the carcass to the road and skinned it.
