A Siberian tiger killed a zookeeper in Switzerland in an enclosure while visitors looked on, said authorities.

Onlookers called for help when the tiger attacked the worker at around 1 p.m., the Zurich zoo said in a statement. Staff then lured out the tiger, named Irina, from the enclosure before first responders attended.
