Was it a long board or a 2 x 4?

Not clear, but at 350lb it’s huge.

Headline corrected.

Update: The HMB Police shot and killed the animal.

“We only had a little perimeter set up and it could have escaped at any time,” O’Keefe said. “Our officers at the scene had to consider public safety paramount. Children were getting out of school soon and many of them come passing through open fields in that area. These animals are known to be very aggressive, and the size of this one was pretty scary, too.”
