- The Saint Louis Zoo was locked down Thursday, and people were sheltering in place after Ben, an Andean bear, escaped from his enclosure.
- Nexstar’s KTVI was told that zoo personnel saw Ben hanging around the River’s Edge, not far from his habitat. They were determining a plan to get Ben home or someplace he could not escape.
- All guests were inside buildings and safe. Anyone near the zoo was instructed to stay in their car.
