Oklahoma livestock farmer killed by water buffaloes he purchased just one day before fatal attack
A Jones, Oklahoma, farmer was attacked and killed by a pair of water buffaloes he acquired at a livestock auction just a day earlier, according to police. The Jones Police Department said Monday that officers responded to an emergency call just after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, regarding an individual who was attacked by water buffalo at a farm. When first responders arrived, they were unable to reach the victim, later identified as Bradley McMichael, because of the aggressive behavior of a water buffalo. In order to allow safe access to McMichael, officials shot and killed one of the water buffalo. The officers then gained entry to the scene and discovered that McMichaels had sustained multiple deep lacerations that proved to be fatal. When investigators were processing the scene, a second water buffalo started to become more and more agitated and began to pose a threat to emergency personnel. Police said the second animal was killed to ensure everyone on the scene was safe. A preliminary investigation determined that the two water buffaloes were responsible for the fatal injuries McMichael sustained. Investigators also learned McMichael purchased the two water buffaloes at a livestock auction on July 10, just a day before he was killed. Detectives suspect McMichael became trapped inside the water buffalo enclosure while he was tending to his new animals. Amy Smith, McMichael's ex-wife, told television station KFOR his passion was caring for livestock. "The cattle farming, that's his thing," Smith told the station. "He's been here his whole life, and he's done that his whole life. "So, he's an experienced cattle handler and a farmer," she added.

Oklahoma farmer killed by water buffaloes he bought at auction the day before, police say
A farmer in Oklahoma was killed by two water buffaloes that he purchased at a livestock auction the day before, police said Monday. Police and fire personnel were called to a farm in Jones, Oklahoma, about 20 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, on Friday around 8:35 p.m. local time about an individual who had been attacked by the animals, a police news release said. "Upon arrival, first responders were initially unable to reach the victim due to the aggressive behavior of the animals," the release said. The first responders put down one of the buffaloes to get to the victim, who was identified as Bradley McMichael. He had "multiple deep lacerations that proved to be fatal," police said. The second buffalo was later put down after it "became increasingly agitated and posed a threat to emergency personnel" as the scene was being processed, the news release said. McMichael had bought the animals at a livestock auction on Thursday. "It is believed that while tending to the animals, he became trapped inside their enclosure," police said. McMichael's family told KFOR, an NBC affiliate, that purchasing livestock was a passion for him. "He was at the auction Thursday night and he loved to be there, he was in good spirits. The best mood I've seen him in a while," his girlfriend, Jennifer Green, told the station. "His farm was his dream," the post says.
