A critically endangered tiger is dead after it was shot Wednesday night by a deputy at a Florida zoo.

According to law enforcement, the deputy had to shoot the tiger after it bit a man's arm and wouldn't let go.

The man, who worked for a third-party cleaning service, had gotten near the enclosure after the Naples Zoo was closed and had stuck his arm into the enclosure to either try to feed or pet the animal.

He was critically injured and rushed to the hospital, law enforcement said Wednesday.

The 8-year-old tiger, named Eko, retreated in the enclosure after he was shot and became unresponsive, the Collier County Sheriff's Office says.

A veterinarian later accessed his condition when it was safe, law enforcement said. WINK News was first to report Wednesday Eko had died.
