Just saw the story on my local news channel.

According to Fox8, the store has the gorilla as a marketing tool a couple of days a week. Brandon Parham, the store manager, told the TV station that he had seen the kid inside the store prior to the attack.
"Then he just emerged, dressed up as a banana, and sprinted as fast as he could at our gorilla," Parham said. "The kid just speared our gorilla."
.......
Fox8 reports that after the attack, the person dressed up as a banana split and headed south on Pearl Road.
Meantime, the store manager feels his guy got a bad deal: "The gorilla should have won," Parham said.
There's also a video on the site. On the video from my local news, the store manager could barely keep a straight face when being interviewed, and the reporter made a bunch of lame puns ("split," "appeal," etc.)

I think this is a pretty awesome story. The banana costume was definitely a good choice for owning a gorilla, if you're going for irony. (I wonder if that will get Jin to come out of hiding ) But yeah; apparently, the gorilla was fine. He just got back up, adjusted his head, and then went back to waving his sign or whatever. Also, I guess the police aren't too worried about it either. How would they track down the culprit when the only description was that it was a kid dressed in a banana, anyway? Anyhoo...
