REUTERS COW GETS LOOSE IN QUEENS 7 Traffi c in Queens had to move over on Thursday for a four-legged animal looking for a way out. The NYPD reported that a cow was on the loose in Jamaica after 12:30 p.m. and the 103rd Precinct, which patrols the neighborhood, later tweeted photos of the captured animal inside a parking garage. The precinct reported no injuries and showed the cow being placed inside a trailer. According to DNAinfo, the cow had escaped from a slaughterhouse near where it was caught and although the animal got its hour of freedom — it is expected to be killed on Friday. 7 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW MAIN PHOTO BY TWIITER @ NYPD103PCT, ALL OTHER PHOTOS BY GETTY IMAGES SHOOTING EX AT DAY CARE TRAIN PUNCH SUSPECT FIGHTER JET CRASHES 4 6 5 A Bronx man was indicted Police have released the sketch of a An F-16 fi ghter jet crashed in rough Wednesday on a murder charge for violent 6 train rider who they said as- terrain in remote central Arizona fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend in saulted another woman on a Manhattan on Thursday, Air Force offi cials 2015 outside of their daughter’s day care subway last month.
