Tiger and owner wanted in Houston after ditching police in high-speed pursuit

A tiger and its owner are wanted in Houston after ditching police in a high-speed pursuit.

When Maria Torres and her sister-in-law got an emergency notification on a neighborhood app Sunday night, they had to do a double-take: a tiger was on the loose on a nearby Houston residential street. Instead of staying in the house with their doors locked, the two women went on an impromptu safari. "We got in the car and went to check it out," Torres told ABC News on Monday. When they reached Ivy Wall Drive in west Houston, they could barely believe their eyes. Torres took out her cell phone and started recording several people confronting a striped Bengal tiger, including an off-duty law enforcement officer back-peddling with his gun aimed at big cat.
