Summary:

A 10-ft-long python escaped from an aquarium after he broke the glass of his aquarium and pushed aside 60 lbs of weights placed on the top of the cage. The snake went on a rampage in his “owner’s” home before three people recaptured him and placed him in a sack. The snake was later killed.
