Zoo Witness Gorilla Was 'Protecting' 4 Year Old, 'Wasn't Hurting Him' ABC News. A witness present at the Cincinnati Zoo says the 450-pound gorilla that was shot and killed after a 4-year-old boy fell into his enclosure was not "hurting" the boy, but instead seemed to be "protecting him.". "The little boy, once he fell, I don't think the gorilla even knew that he was in there until he heard him splashing in the water," Brittany Nicely told ABC News on Sunday, explaining that zoogoers' screams drew more attention to the Saturday afternoon incident. "The gorilla rushed the boy, but did not hit the boy," Nicely said. "He almost was guarding the boy, was protecting him.". Video obtained by ABC News shows the gorilla dragging the small boy through the water in the enclosure, and the zoo said that the fire department reported that "the gorilla was violently dragging and throwing the child.". The boy was hospitalized and released Saturday, zoo officials said Sunday. The boy's family said in a statement today that the boy "is home and doing just fine.".
