BULLETS rip into a crazed elephant that rampaged through a village yesterday, killing seven people and injuring 24 more.

More than 100 shots were fired at the terrified animal and one wound can clearly be seen in its back, circled.

The rogue male emerged from a forest and began destroying crops in Bhudaheda, northern India.

Villagers tried to frighten it away with drums but were trampled under its feet as it became enraged.

Wildlife expert Belinda Wright said: The elephant was surrounded. It couldnt bear all these people and became wild.
