Spain: 2 Americans, 1 Briton gored in 1st Pamplona bull run
By DANIEL OCHOA DE OLZA and CIARAN GILES

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — Two Americans and a Briton were gored and eight other people were injured Tuesday as thousands of daredevils dashed alongside fighting bulls through the streets of Pamplona on the first bull run of the annual San Fermin festival, organizers said.

Mike Webster, a 38-year-old occupational therapist from Gainesville, Florida, was gored as he ran with the bulls in Pamplona for the 38th time in 11 years.

San Fermin's media office said he was gored in the armpit, and Webster told The Associated Press from his hospital bed that he hasn't decided whether he'll run again because he first needs to discuss the issue with his wife.

Also gored were a 27-year-old Californian identified by the media office only by his initials, D.M.O., and a 30-year-old Briton with the initials A.B.O. Neither was in serious condition.

Three other Americans were among the eight others injured, most with bruises from falls and crowd crushes during the nationally televised run that lasted just over two minutes.

Which can only mean she is scarier than a pissed-off bull.
