Lion Takes Life of Gamer

A small town in northeastern Brazil was the sight of a freak accident that killed a four-year-old boy.

To advertise the circus, the lion tamer from the circus was taking a lion for a stroll through the streets when the beast broke loose from its leash, according to Globo News.

The lion tamer yelled for people to immediately shut their doors, but the lion worked its way into a video rental shop where four-year old Jose Vinicius Silva was playing video games. The lion mauled the boy to death, according to Globo.

The lion tamer was summarily arrested. The circus moved to another town.
