Police shot a rampaging bull on a middle school campus Thursday in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

A local resident, Maimaiti, bought the bull in a market and prepared to send it home. But the bull broke the ropes tying it down and ran down a road and into Urumqi No 43 Middle School. The bull injured several people trying to get it under control.
