The Obion County Sheriff’s Office said it was called to a report of a loose camel near the Shirley Farms petting zoo. Deputies arrived and found two people unconscious on the grounds and a camel loose.
As first responders worked to move the victims to safety, investigators said the camel attacked an Obion County deputy’s vehicle, then moved toward the deputies who were trying to save the victims.
The sheriff’s office said “officers had to put the camel down for the safety of everyone on scene.”
The victims – 42-year-old Bobby Matheny of Ripley and 67-year-old Tommy Gunn of Obion – died at the scene.
