Police shoot escaped cows

By Karen Blackledge
The Daily Item

At one point, there was a suggestion made about summoning a firetruck with long ropes to try to lasso the animals.

Danville Police Officer Jerry Zeidler, who was one of the first officers on the scene, downed the cows with a shotgun.

The incident drew about 25 people including some students.

Sgt. Wilt said this wasn’t the first they had farm animals loose in the borough. About eight years ago, there were bulls loose on Mill Street. “They fell off a trailer on Continental Boulevard. We ended up tying them on lamp poles. They destroyed cars,” he said.
