Chimps rounded up - at gunpoint

Armed police opened fire after a group of chimpanzees broke out of a compound at Belfast Zoo.

They took the drastic action to force the chimps to return to their enclosure, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Reports initially swept Belfast that police had shot the animals dead, but a spokesman insisted: "We didn't kill them, we fired in the air."

Officers reported the incident to the police ombudsman because it involved the police firing with live ammunition.
