Grab the Bull by the Horns

Pamplona, Spain. A man was gored to death by a bull at Pamplona's running of the bulls last Friday, marking the event's first fatality in 14 years. A man identified as 'Mr. Romero' was fatally injured by a 1,130 pound brown bull named Cappuccino. The man was killed almost instantly after the bull punctured the man's neck.

"He suffered mortal injuries, so there was nothing we could do to save his life," said Esther Vila, the surgeon who operated on Romero. "He had lost a great deal of blood." Authorities say three other people were gored and six more received non-life threatening injuries. The last fatal goring to occur at the festival occurred in 1995 when a bull claimed the life of 22-year-old American, Matthew Tassio.

Friday's run, the fourth of this year's San Fernin festival, brought the event's death toll to 15 since records began in 1911. The event was described as the bloodiest run in decades.
