NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Bulls may be welcome on Wall Street, but one chose the wrong part of New York City to roam in on Sunday and was killed by a hail of police gunfire.

Police said a big black bull escaped from a club where a Father's Day rodeo had been planned and ran through the streets of Long Island City in Queens, charging pedestrians.

Four police officers caught up with the animal in a parking lot.

"Unable to contain the bull and fearing for the safety of civilians, the four officers fired several rounds, killing the bull on the scene," said New York Police Department spokeswoman LeeAnn Tracy-Ader.

She said the four officers were treated for trauma. The bull was dumped in a landfill on Staten Island.
