The Hamilton County prosecutor said, No charges will be filed against the mother of the 3-year old boy who fell into a gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28.
Zoo officials shot and killed a rare silverback gorilla named Harambe after the child entered the enclosure, fearing his safety.
Video footage shows Harambe standing next to the child and dragging him through the water. The zoo has staunchly defended it’s decision to shoot Harambe as necessary to protect the child.
