CAVE JUNCTION, Ore. (AP) β An Oregon perseveration center says a camel has died after being injured in a southwestern Oregon shooting last week.
The camel named Camille was standing across the highway when a man opened fire in Cave Junction on July 1. Police say a man was injured and a dog was killed in the incident.
Robert Ringo with the Tiger Preservation Center told the Daily Courier (http://bit.ly/2tGTvGM ) that a stray bullet had hit Camille above the eye. She died two days after the shooting.
Police say 30-year-old Joseph Carl Sallman of Grants Pass was on the run for almost three days before he was arrested July 4. He has four charges including attempted murder.
Court-appointed attorney Pete Smith did not immediately return a phone message to The Associated Press seeking comment.
