A rhino at an Austrian zoo kills a zookeeper and seriously injures her husband

BERLIN (AP) — Authorities say a rhino at a zoo in Austria attacked a married couple working as zookeepers, killing the woman and seriously injuring the man, authorities said. The fatal attack happened early Tuesday morning at the Hellbrunn zoo in the western Austrian city of Salzburg. The zoo director told reporters that the 33-year-old woman was assigned that day to put an insect deterrent on the rhino. It was then that 30-year-old female rhino, Jeti, attacked the keeper though it was not clear why. Police said in a statement that the woman succumbed to her injuries “at the scene of the accident.” The zoo said it would remain closed on Tuesday.
