Runaway Chimp Shot Dead

A chimpanzee which escaped from a zoo in north Yorkshire has been shot dead by a zoo marksman, police have said.

Police issued an urgent warning to the public after the adult female chimp escaped from Flamingo Land zoo near Malton shortly after 10am.

The chimp then disappeared in the foggy conditions.

The public warning said that the escaped chimp was "potentially dangerous and should not be approached".

A police spokesman later confirmed: "A zoo marksman has shot the chimp dead. The public concern can now abate."
