American gored in Pamplona bull run

An American was gored in the leg and five other runners were injured Wednesday in the second-last running of the bulls at Pamplona's San Fermin festival, officials said. One of the six bulls crashed into a group of runners close to a fence, goring the American in the thigh and lifting at least two of the runners in the air with his horns. More than 1,000 people took part in the 8 a.m. dash with six fighting bulls and their accompanying steer along a 930-yard street course to the city' bull ring. The nine-day fiesta, known also for its 24-hour street partying, became world famous with Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
