Officers found the 28-year-old man lying on the floor unresponsive with a 15-foot snake wrapped around his neck.
UPPER MACUNGIE TWP., Pennsylvania -- Police in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania shot a snake that wrapped itself around a man's neck.
Officers rushed to the man's home on the 1400 block of Church Street in Fogelsville Wednesday afternoon. They found the 28-year-old man lying on the floor unresponsive with a 15-foot snake wrapped around his neck."Because the snake was so large, the midsection of the snake was wrapped around the throat. The head of the snake was just far enough away from the victim that the officer made a split-second decision and he proceeded to shoot the snake in the head," said Lt. Peter Nickischer with the Upper Macungie Township Police Department.
