Man dies at Spanish bull-run event

A man was killed on Friday at the annual running
of the bulls festival in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona,
medical services said, according to dpa.
It is the first time since 2003 that a participant in the festival
has died. The victim received a gore wound to the neck from the horns
of an animal and died in hospital shortly afterwards.
The identity of the dead man has not yet been released. Three
other participants were injured.
At the festival, which runs until July 14, each morning six bulls
are released to run from their corral through the narrow streets of
the city to the bullfighting arena. Traditionally hundreds of young
men run in front of the bulls, with a rolled-up newspaper as their
only permitted defence from the animals' horns.
In 2003 a 62-year-old Spanish man died in the event.
