Butler County man doing yard work gored by bull

BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — A Butler County man has been gored by a bull while he was working outside his house.

State police say 50-year-old Roy Weyand of Franklin Township was doing yard work when a Texas longhorn charged and gored him Sunday afternoon.

Police say Weyand fled into a wooded area after the attack. The animal went into a field, where police shot and killed it.

Police say the bull had escaped from a nearby residence.

Authorities say Weyand was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
