Farmer Killed By Water Buffaloes He Bought Day Earlier At Auction
A farmer in Oklahoma was killed by two water buffaloes that he purchased at a livestock auction the day before, police said Monday.
Police and fire personnel were called to a farm in Jones, Oklahoma, about 20 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, on Friday around 8:35 p.m. local time about an individual who had been attacked by the animals, a police news release said.
“Upon arrival, first responders were initially unable to reach the victim due to the aggressive behavior of the animals,” the release said.
The first responders put down one of the buffaloes to get to the victim, who was identified as Bradley McMichael.
He had “multiple deep lacerations that proved to be fatal,” police said.
