Marauding elephant could be shot after killing 15 people in India

Wildlife officials say something must be done to end animal's months-long rampage that has left villagers living in fear

An elephant that has killed 15 people in eastern India over a months-long rampage could be shot within days if it is not brought under control, an official has said.

Wildlife rangers and hunters assembled in Jharkhand on Wednesday after another victim was trampled to death on Tuesday evening, said the state's chief forest and wildlife conservator, LR Singh.
