Police say they had to rescue a Pennsylvania man from his 15-foot pet snake.
Officers report they were called to the man’s home on Wednesday and found the snake wrapped around his owner’s neck.
Authorities said the man was lying on the floor unresponsive and the reptile would not let go. So, they shot it. “At that time, the officers observed the snake, a very large, thick, 15-plus-foot snake. The snake’s midsection was wrapped around the male’s throat on the ground,” said Lt. Peter Nickischer of the Upper Macungie Township Police Department. “Literally, the officer looked into the room and the snake was looking up at him. It was face-to-face, and the officer just did what he had to do.”
According to police, the snake’s owner was not hit with any of the bullets but was taken to the hospital once the snake moved away and died.Copyright 2022 CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.
