Baby falls into Gorilla Pit at Cincinnati Zoo

A 17-year-old, 400-pound male lowland gorilla, Harambe, was shot and killed by the zoo's dangerous animal response team about 10 minutes after the boy made it into the enclosure.

Cincinnati Zoo workers shot Harambe dead out of fear that he would hurt the boy.
