No Charges For Mother Of Boy Who Fell Into Gorilla Exhibit
PHILADELPHIA (CNN) -- No charges will be filed against the mother of the 3-year-old boy who fell into a gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo, the Hamilton County prosecutor's office in Ohio said Monday.
After the boy slipped into the enclosure May 28, he had a 10-minute encounter with Harambe, a 450-pound gorilla. Harambe pulled the boy across a moat and was fatally shot by zoo personnel.
A witness told CNN the boy's mother was temporarily distracted by other children when the boy fell into the exhibit.
