Lion Kills Indiana Woman At North Carolina Sanctuary

A lion killed a young Indiana woman at a wildlife conservatory Sunday after it got loose from a locked space.
Police say 22-year old Alexandra Black of New Palestine was killed after being attacked by the lion in an enclosure that was being cleaned.
The lion was shot and killed after attempts to tranquilize the animal failed.
A “husbandry team” led by a professionally trained animal keeper was carrying out the routine cleaning when the lion somehow got loose. It wasn’t clear how the lion escaped the area that was supposed to be locked.
Black had recently graduated from Indiana University. She had been working at the conservatory for about two weeks.
