Tennessee petting zoo camel kills two men Bobby Matheny, Tommy Gunn after escape
Two men killed by camel that escaped from Tennessee petting zoo

Two men were killed by a rampaging camel that escaped from a petting zoo in Tennessee, according to local officials.
Bobby Matheny, 42, and Tommy Gunn, 67, both from The Volunteer State, died after they were cornered and attacked by the frenzied camel Thursday in Obion, roughly 100 miles northeast of Memphis.
The humped beast was killed by responding law enforcement officers.
The Obion County Sheriff’s Office got a call about a loose camel attacking people near the Shirley Farms petting Zoo at around 4:45 p.m., the department said in a statement.
When deputies arrived, they found the two unconscious victims and the unhinged creature on the loose. Several agencies were on the scene to provide aid and get the victims to safety.
As deputies moved one of the victims into an ambulance, the camel reappeared and attacked a sheriff’s office vehicle. Officers were forced to “put the camel down for the safety of everyone on the scene,” the statement said.
Bobby Matheny, 42, was one of the two men cornered by the animal.
Matheny and Gunn succumbed to their injuries and were declared dead at the scene.
It’s not clear how the camel got loose.
A family member of one of the victims told WTVF that the two men had been at the farm to try and help capture the camel. The animal cornered them and attacked, stomping the men to death, the relative said.
A camel expert told the outlet that when fully grown, the animals “have enough strength to crush arms and legs along with your neck while kicking forward and backwards.”
“Most animals can only kick backwards. Camels will do a combination of all those things while kneeling forward to crush you,” the expert said.
Law enforcement officers later killed the camel “for the safety of everyone on [the] scene.”
Shirley Farms told CBS News that they are upset and grieving about the attack, but provided no further details.
Matheny had worked as a janitor at Lake County High School, according to an online obituary. A funeral service has been scheduled for 3 p.m. on Sunday in the school’s gymnasium.
Autumn Staggs, who worked as a janitor alongside Matheny for five years, said in a heartfelt Facebook post, with a video attached of Matheny joking around while he cleaned a school floor.
“We shared many laughs and many hard work days up there until I decided to leave for another job. He was always my go to when I needed to vent and vise versa. Bob was one of a kind and I cannot believe I’m saying this but rest easy Big guy,” she wrote.
“Five years of knowing you, five years of always counting on you, five years of you never failing to be a good coworker and friend but this hurts man. Hurts bad. You where my friend, my sidekick up there and I’m never going to forget you.”

@nivek does the system come with additional response icons? For example, for this article I would rather respond with "astonishment" rather than "like," "awesome" or a mere "thanks."will that be one hump or two?

Professional South American burglary gang is filmed EMPTYING luxury California homes after carrying out similar raids across East Coast, Indiana and Texas before flying home
Law enforcement is blaming a spate of home burglaries in California on gangs of South American 'crime tourists' who target wealthy neighborhoods for their robberies before returning home with the loot. The San Francisco suburb of Hillsborough is just the latest community plagued by similar schemes, as traveling bands of criminals from Chile, Colombia and elsewhere in South America have allegedly struck communities across the east coast, Indiana and Texas. Hillsborough Police said it suspected the 'crime tourists' were behind at least one brazen robbery that took place last Friday night in the affluent Bay Area community, where the average home price sits around $5.4 million, according to Zillow. Security footage from a local home on Friday night (left) captured the moment thieves ransacked the property.

Extraordinary moment a woman ERUPTS at a reporter and throws a can of Coke at a camera after being grilled about 'stealing her neighbour's PLANTS'
A woman has blown up at reporters after being charged with allegedly stealing about $600 worth of plants and pots from her neighbour's gardens. Sherrie Robinson, 29, faced court this week on four counts of larceny after she allegedly snatched flowers from her neighbour's front yards in St Andrews, in Sydney's south west.
But a wild confrontation erupted after the hearing as the alleged plant plucker was grilled by A Current Affair reporter Hannah Sinclair over the allegations. 'F*** off b***,' Ms Robinson yells as she is approached by the media crew, her face covered by a mask as she scurries through the car park clutching a can of coke.
But unhappy with being filmed, she doubles back to throw her soft drink at the camera man, emptying the contents all over the lens before pelting the empty can towards his face. 'F*** off bitch,' Ms Robinson screams again, before storming off.
Residents launched a campaign to track down their so-called 'phantom plant plucker' after shrubbery started going missing from their yards. CCTV footage shows a hooded figure taking items from garden beds and stashing them inside a bed before taking off.
One local delivered letters to mail boxes calling on anyone with information to contact police, while another alleged victim erected a fence as a deterrent. Ms Robinson is yet to enter a plea to the charges and will return to court at again at a later date.

Virginia reporter discovered dead in shooting when paper tries to assign her the story
A Virginia newspaper reporter was one of two people killed during a shooting early Saturday outside a restaurant and bar, authorities said.
"Saturday would have been Sierra Jenkins’ turn to cover the breaking news shift for The Virginian-Pilot," the newspaper reported. "When an editor learned early Saturday that several people had been shot in downtown Norfolk, he called Jenkins repeatedly to ask her to cover it. But she couldn’t be reached."

The Kickstarter for the invention has taken off, with more than $10,000 in backing. Invisibility Shield Co. via Kickstarter
No, this is not something from a Harry Potter movie.
A group of British nerds claim to have created a mind-blowing invisibility shield to “surprise friends” and “avoid enemies”.
The shield is essentially a flat panel that magically hides whoever ducks behind it.
Even more impressive is the fact the device doesn’t need any power.
It cleverly works by deflecting light around people using a “precision engineered lens array,” creators Invisibility Shield Co say.
But it’s not completely perfect — you don’t get a clear picture of the scene behind the subject, instead it creates more of a blur.
So far, they’ve made 25 fully functional invisibility shields.
But now the team are crowdfunding on Kickstarter to turn their invention from “science fiction into reality”.
Their goal of raising $6,600 has already been passed, with more than $10,100 pledged so far.
Those who offer $395 can get hold of a full-size shield measuring 37.4in x 25.5in, and should receive it by the end of the year.
The shield can almost completely replicate the background, making it only a little blurry.

A smaller piece ideal for hiding everyday items is available from $65.
Inventors have also said that the clothes you wear can impact the shield’s effectiveness.
“The shield performs at its absolute best when the clothing you are wearing is the same color and slightly lighter or equal to the brightness of the background scenery,” they explain.
“The shield still works very well with dark and differently colored clothing against a light background, but this combination makes the face of the shield slightly darker overall relative to the background, than it would be if the holder were wearing light clothing.”

I just skipped over it in a hurry. Yeah, it must be much bigger then the object that it is hiding.
But it would be nice if this can help Ukrainian soldiers to hide machine gun nests and snipers behind this type of a thing
. Which brings a point, one would be able to to hide a sniper hole, because snipers usually shoot through holes left in buildings.

Warped road caused by 'mystery underground movements'
A road in the UK has become so warped that parts of it are now sitting at a 45-degree angle.
The anomalous damage, which has been reported on the B4069 near Lyneham in Wiltshire, England, has recently become the focus of a mystery that has left local authorities scratching their heads.
At a glance, the stretch of tarmac could easily be mistaken for the site of a major earthquake, with the road surface twisted and broken as if it were the aftermath of some geological catastrophe.
In reality, however, no earthquake has occurred. Instead, local authorities have blamed the damage on unexplained underground movements. "It could costs hundreds of thousands or up into the millions [to repair the damage]," said Dr Mark McClelland of Wiltshire Council.
"There is significant damage to the road. It could be up to 12 months in total. It's not something that can be resolved in a matter of days or weeks. The underlying ground has slipped and we need to understand why that has happened. "
Incredibly, some motorists have continued to navigate the road despite police warnings. An investigation by geotechnical specialists is currently underway.

You can see that the road was on the side of a hill. It looks like a landslide, which is not that bizarre or uncommon, just look at what happened to Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
