Untold Stories & Unsung Heroes From France   

Wild Boar Goes Clothes Shopping

Christmas shoppers and employees were evacuated from the store and the 90-kilo (198-pound) boar began charging at police, before falling in a hail of bullets early in the afternoon.

Just how the animal entered the shop, located in a commercial area near the city of Poitiers, remains a mystery.

I assume the beast will end up on a Christmas table tomorrow.
