Rogue Elephants kill 8 in India

Two domesticated elephants went on a rampage through several villages in northeastern India, killing eight people and wounding five before being shot dead by police.

The rampage occurred in an area bordering India's Assam and Mizoram states.
The two elephants, a male and a female, ran through at least five villages in Assam, trampling anyone who got in their way and knocking down several of the mud-and-thatch houses before crossing into the neighboring state of Mizoram, where police were called in.

The incident started when the male was hit on the head by a falling log.
The remote region is home to some 5,000 wild Asiatic elephants, and conflicts between the elephants and humans have been on the rise due to constant encroachment on the animals' habitat.
