'Hero' Oregon cop battles 3 1/2-metre python to save pet store owner

Canadian Press: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


EUGENE, Ore. - A pet store owner is calling a police sergeant a hero for saving her from the coils of a 3 1/2-metre Burmese python doing its best to turn her into a meal.

Teresa Rossiter reached into a cage Thursday to show the huge snake to a customer.

The snake bit her right hand and coiled around her left arm to throw her to the floor.

A friend who happened to be at the store kept the snake off her neck and body while police were called.

When Sgt. Ryan Nelson rushed into the store, he was ready to kill the snake with his knife. But Rossiter asked him to spare the expensive python, so Nelson put on gloves and pried open the snake's mouth to free Rossiter's hand.

Two responders from the Eugene Fire Department helped unwrap the snake, which was eventually returned to its cage

Rossiter, who suffered dozens of puncture wounds, called Nelson a hero.

"He was the bravest guy ever. He went way above and beyond the call of duty," she told the Oregonian newspaper
