Lion Hunt in Missouri Ends in Fatal Shooting
Deputy Sheriff Tom Hotchkiss killed two young lionesses on a private island after a planned safari by Denver M. Wright. Wright and his party released the captives near Commerce, Missouri, but Hotchkiss said the lions posed a threat to livestock and people. He fired four shots, ending the hunt in self defense and official duty. The incident sparked protest from Wright, who had expected a lawful thrill rather than a sudden tragedy. The lions, bred in captivity and raised in a circus, were described as easy marks by Hotchkiss.
