A police officer armed with a rifle, left, fires at an escaped circus elephant on a Honolulu street. The rampaging elephant killed one trainer and injured another before she was shot down. It was the second elephant attack in a week at Circus International. The 21-year-old African elephant named Tyk went berserk just before she was to perform with four other elephants in Saturday's matinee. Tyk picked up the apprentice trainer and threw him down, then tried to stomp his head. Another trainer was crushed by the animal as he tried to help the first man. The elephant broke through the main exit and led authorities on a chase of several blocks. She was cornered in a light industrial area and shot repeatedly until she crumpled to the ground. Workers from the Honolulu Zoo gave her a lethal injection at the scene.
