'Razorback' Scares Kids, Killed by Cops
Associated Press
PINE BLUFF, Ark. - A wild boar like the University of Arkansas' beloved porcine mascot wasn't a welcome sight for schoolchildren in Pine Bluff on Tuesday, who needed police to save them from the hog's tusks.
The black boar terrorized children at a bus stop Tuesday afternoon, Pine Bluff police said. Police and Animal Control officers were able to corner the boar in a thicket.
"Officer Vance Freeman then discharged his duty weapon, putting one round into the temple of the wild boar. Animal Control then removed the boar from the premises with no further incident," Sgt. James C. Golden said in a release playfully titled "Hawg Wild."
University of Arkansas teams are called the Razorbacks, known affectionately as the Hawgs.
