'Rogue bull' kills 1
A charging bull gored a young Spanish man to death on Friday at the San Fermin festival, the first such fatality in nearly 15 years. Nine others were injured in a chaotic chapter of the running of the bulls. Daniel Jimeno Romero, 27, was on vacation with his parents and girlfriend, who identified him.
Festival officials said Jimeno Romero was gored in the neck and lung during a run in which a "rogue bull" named Cappuccino separated from the pack, which is among the most dangerous things that can happen at Pamplona's popular fiesta.
