2 Tigers maul 2 women to death, injure 1 in Chinese wildlife park

Siberian tigers at a wildlife park in Beijing mauled a woman to death and wounded another when they stepped out of their private car in an enclosure, a Chinese state-run newspaper , the Legal Evening News reported. A tiger pounced on one of the women after she got out of her car in which she was touring the Beijing Badaling Wildlife World on Saturday.
The second woman was killed by another tiger that pounced on her after she stepped out of the vehicle to try to help her companion.

The Yanqing district government confirmed the incident in an official microblog post that the tiger attacks took place at the park, which is located at the foot of the Great Wall.

It didn't offer much details about the incidents but said the injured person was being treated.

Visitors are allowed to drive their own vehicles around the park, but are forbidden from getting out while in certain enclosures.

The park was closed for two days due to forecasts of heavy rain.
