Dallas  -- A gorilla's rampage through the Dallas Zoo that injured four 
people, including a toddler, remained under investigation as officials tried 
to determine how the 300-pound animal broke out of its cage.

Rivers Noah, 3, was in critical condition early today at Children's Medical 
Center with multiple bites to his head and chest. His 26-year-old mother, 
Keisha Heard, was in good condition at Parkland Memorial Hospital after the 
gorilla bit her on the legs and threw her and the toddler against a wall 
Thursday, according to police and witnesses.

Police who evacuated an estimated 300 people from the zoo compound fatally 
shot Jabari, the 13-year-old western lowland gorilla, after it charged at 
officers.
