		</div><p>A female zookeeper has been killed after a tiger entered the enclosure she was in. Visitors were evacuated from Hamerton Zoo Park in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, a little before midday on Monday. Police were called to the attraction at 11.15am to reports of a serious incident, while a Magpas air ambulance was on the scene 20 minutes later.</p>
<p>Cambridgeshire Constabulary said on Facebook: &#8220;Officers attended a serious incident at Hamerton Zoo Park, Steeple Girding, at around 11.15am today. &#8220;A tiger had entered an enclosure with a keeper. Sadly the female zookeeper died at the scene.</p>
<p>&#8220;At no time did the animal escape from the enclosure.<br />
&#8220;The incident is not believed to be suspicious.&#8221;</p>
<p>The force had earlier denied that any animals had escaped, saying members of the public were safe.<br />
Eyewitness Jeff Knott, from Cambridgeshire, said staff had been &#8220;a real credit&#8221; to the zoo during the evacuation.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old told the Press Association: &#8220;We had been in the zoo since about 10.30am and heard/seen nothing until asked to leave about 11.45am.<br />
&#8220;Staff were very calm and professional. All visitors around us were leaving in a very calm manner &#8211; no running, shouting or anything similar.&#8221;</p>
<p>Antonia Brickell from Magpas air ambulance denied reports that visitors had been &#8220;running in terror&#8221;, adding: &#8220;The visitors were safely evicted from the zoo.<br />
&#8220;No animals escaped the enclosure, no children were injured.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also confirmed that the incident was not terrorism-related. An EEAST ambulance service paramedic crew and two rapid response vehicles also attended. People took to social media to express their condolences following the woman&#8217;s death.</p>
