Spain's Running of the Bulls Ends: 8 Runs, 8 Gorings

Associated Press

   PAMPLONA, SPAIN - A bull broke from the pack and gored three runners
   Sunday during the final bull run of this year's San Fermin festival,
   health officials from the northern Spanish city of Pamplona said.

   That took the number of gorings to eight for the eight bull runs that
   provide a high-adrenaline morning rush to the nonstop party that draws
   around 1 million people each year.

   One bull raises havoc

   While five of the bulls stayed in a group and charged through the
   twisting streets with their guiding steers, one bull drifted back and
   provoked havoc in the crowds of runners. The bull flipped one man over
   its horns and slammed him onto the cobblestone street. It then clipped
   another two runners who were trapped against a wall.
