Reported in the June 2002 "Police" magazine.....
While on vacation at the Maasai Mata Hotel in Kenya, an off duty policeman (unidentified) was attacked by a rogue elephant. The elephant took exception to a pickup game of soccer and charged the players.
The officer stood his ground, waving his arms and shouting. The other players took off while he did so. Then our hero decided to retreat. And tripped. So, in desparation, the valiant copper took out his snubbie 38 Special and cranked off a round.
Score is now:
Skinny Cop: 1; elephant: 0
Anyone have contacts in Kenya to verify this?
Nevermind, I'm gonna believe it anyhow.
