The running of the bulls was all fun and games this year—until it took a violent turn. A bull gored a man to death at the San Fermin Festival on Friday—the first fatality there since 1995. The bulls, which were known to be an especially violent breed, left three others gored, and six badly injured. A "rogue" bull reportedly left the group early in the run and fatally gored an unidentified young man in the neck and lung. This was the fifteenth death at the Pamplona festival since record-keeping began in 1924.
