LISTEN: Distressed 911 Call Of Mother Whose Young Son Fell Into Gorilla Enclosure

By now you'll know all about Harambe, the gorilla who was killed after a four-year-old boy fell into his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo.

Fearing for the safety of the child, zoo officials shot the gorilla.

After a video of the incident went viral, a lot of opinions surrounding the death of Harambe, and the parents of Isaiah, the boy who fell into the enclosure, have surfaced.

Now, the call Isaiah's mother, Michelle Gregg, made to 911 as the events unfolded has been released by police.

The worried mother can be heard saying: "Hi, my son fell in the zoo exhibit at the gorillas. There's a male gorilla standing over him. I need someone to contact the zoo please.

"He's dragging my son. I can't watch this. I can't. I can't watch."

Yesterday the BBC reported that police were conducting an investigation on the parents of Isaiah, 'regarding the actions of the parents/family that led up to the incident and not related to the operation or safety of the Cincinnati Zoo'.
