Police shot and killed a runaway bull that charged through an English village as children were being dropped off at school.

Paul Dalton was taking his grandchildren to class Wednesday morning in Haslington, northwestern England, when he said he heard a commotion behind them and turned to see a bull charging up the road.

The primary school went into lockdown and residents were warned to stay indoors as police and the bull’s owner tried unsuccessfully to corral the agitated animal.

Because of the risk posed to residents if the rampage continued, Cheshire police said they decided to “dispatch the animal before anyone was seriously hurt.”
