Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.BERLIN -- A fire raced through a zoo in western Germany in the first few minutes of the new year, killing more than 30, including apes, monkeys, bats and birds, authorities said. Police said paper sky lanterns launched nearby to celebrate the arrival of 2020 were probably to blame.
“People reported seeing those sky lanterns flying at low altitude near the zoo and then it started burning,” Hoppmann said. Only two chimpanzees were able to be rescued from the flames by firefighters. They suffered burns but are in stable condition, zoo director Wolfgang Dressen said. “We have to seriously work through the mourning process,” Dressen said. “This is an unfathomable tragedy.”The zoo said the Gorilla Garden, which is near its devastated Ape House, didn't go up in flames and that gorilla Kidogo and six other members of his family are alive.
