2022 Furuvik Zoo chimpanzee shootings

At around 12 o'clock noon on Wednesday, 14 December, 2022, a number of the chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) kept at Furuvik Zoo (Sw. Furuviksparken) in Furuvik, Gävle Municipality, Sweden, escaped from their enclosure into the chimpanzee building and park and made an attempt to exit the zoo itself, which was closed to the public for the winter season.
