According to Corbin Police Capt. Coy Wilson, the mule was shot by Maj. Rob Jones, with a rifle, at the request of the mule\u2019s owner. \u201cIt had already been out on the highway and he was afraid it would get out on I-75 and get somebody hurt,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cThey just couldn\u2019t catch it. Every time they would get close to it, it would run like it was wild or something.\u201d Wilson said the owner of the animal had it for about a month before the escape. The man lives on Fifth Street Road just outside the city limits. \u201cHe said when he opened the gate, it actually pushed him down and ran out of the pen. It was pretty wild, I guess,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cThis was kid of a weird situation. We\u2019ve had them out in the road before \u2026 but luckily we never had to shoot one until now. With this one, there was just no getting it to do anything.\u201d Wilson said the mule ran for some distance after it was shot before it died. Authorities had to be careful to not fire on the animal until it was safe to do so since it was in a residential area. The animal was killed at the end of Scenic View Drive."}
