Tarzan's escaped tiger killed in Fla.
A tiger that escaped from the home of a movie actor who once played Tarzan was shot and killed Tuesday after it lunged at a state wildlife officer who was trying to capture it.
At least two officers approached the tiger, and one was going to try to shoot it with a tranquilizer gun. But the tiger lunged at one officer, who had to shoot in self defense, said Jorge Pino, a spokesman with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
