Today, Friday July 10, 2009 was the first death in Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls since 1995. A loose bull, ‘Cappuccino’, became disoriented after being separated from the herd and charged the walls along the encierro on the final stretch – the Telefonica – multiple times, during which the animal struck 27-year-old Daniel Jimeno Romero from Madrid who was gored by the bull’s horn. Throughout the rest of San Fermin, as a sign of respect for Romero there will be a minute of silence before the bullfights this evening as well as before all official events.
