Meet Tatiana, the killer tiger. ------------ While authorities remain unsure of how the tiger escaped, it is clear that somehow the animal traveled over over a 20-foot wall and a 15-foot moat. Initially, authorities worried four of the zoo's five tigers had escaped. Later they learned Tatiana was the only one loose. ... When police arrived, they found Tatiana sitting beside one of the surviving victims near the zoo's cafe. When it moved toward officers, they opened fire and killed the tiger.
"As that tiger was attacking someone they shot that tiger to save that person's life," Smith said. ... The event marked the second time Tatiana had mauled someone. On Dec. 22, 2006, the tiger attacked a zoo keeper during a routine public feeding.
It reached through its cage, grabbed the zoo keeper and tore flesh off her arm. Later, a state agency faulted the zoo and ordered changes in the cage's construction, which had been made before the latest attack.
