SHOCKING VIDEO OF A MAN BEING GORED TO DEATH! 1ST FATALITY IN ALMOST 15 YEARS!

A charging bull gored a young Spanish man to death Friday during the country's annual San Fermin festival in Pamplona - the first such fatality in the running of the bulls in nearly 15 years.

The 27-year-old victim, identified as Daniel Jimeno Romero, was gored in the neck and lung after he tried in vain to flee a 1,130-pound bull named Capuchino, which had separated from the pack.

Amateur video captured the fatal encounter. It showed Romero trotting backwards, tripping over other runners and falling to the ground. With the bull bearing down on him, Romero tried to escape through a wooden fence feet-first.

The hulking brown bull charged, puncturing Romero's neck with his right horn.

The mortally wounded man's body immediately was covered in blood, the video shows.

Paramedics raced to save Romero, who was on vacation with his parents and girlfriend, but he died a short time later.

Three other people were gored, and six people suffered minor injuries during what was a particularly violent running of the bulls, officials said.

Among the injured was a 61-year-old American who was struck in the chest and had internal bleeding.

Doctors said he was in intensive care but that his condition was not considered life-threatening.

The last fatal goring during the ancient festival was that of 22-year-old American Matthew Tassio in 1995. In 2003, a 63-year-old Spanish man, Fermin Etxeberri, was trampled in the head by a bull and died after spending months in a coma.

Friday's death raises to 15 the toll since record-keeping began in 1924.

The bulls used in this year's run are known to be particularly fearsome. In 2004, they gored a total of eight people in one day, a record for most gorings in a single day.
