The first, still a breaking news story from Stamford, CT - a pet chimpanzee went on a rampage and attacked a visitor to his owner's home this afternoon. Evidently the attack was brutal (the victim has life threatening injuries). The police were called by the chimp's owner and they too were attacked upon their arrival. They had to shoot (and kill) the monkey.
An update on this horrible story -
Police released the calls to 911... the chimp's owner called the police begging them to come over right away and shoot the animal. She thought the chimp killed her friend (who had come over to visit). Evidently the chimp had REALLY tore into the friend (who is now in critical condition with life-threatening injuries). Supposedly the monkey had Lyme Disease and was given some Xanax earlier in the day. There's no word yet on whether that Xanax had affected the chimp enough to make him start the attack.
