Two wild elephants have gone on a rampage in the city of Mysore, southern India, killing at least one person, BBC reports.

Officials say the animals wandered into the city from a nearby forest, leaving residents running for their lives.

Officials say that one elephant barged into a women's college compound and wandered the grounds, while another trampled a residential area. Forest rangers and officials from Mysore Zoo later tranquilized and captured the animals.
