Camel attacks and kills two people near Tennessee petting zoo

Two people are dead after being attacked by a "loose camel" near a Tennessee petting zoo, authorities said Friday. Officials put the camel down "for the safety of everyone on scene."

The Obion County Sheriff's Office said it received reports of a camel on the loose that was attacking people Thursday afternoon near the Shirley Farms petting zoo. Deputies found two unconscious victims on the ground upon arriving at the scene and the camel was still on the loose, Sheriff Karl Jackson said Friday.

In audio obtained by CBS News, a dispatcher can be heard reporting "two 911 calls of two people being viciously attacked by a camel at Shirley Farms."
