I'd aim through the shoulders, in a Monday morning sort of way.

If I was heading to a zoo for an escaped animal and all I had was a cruiser shotgun as a long gun, I'd sure as hell want some slugs along, too.

That begs an interesting question--Why the blazes were these cops running around a zoo with potentially five loose tigers, without their riot shotguns??!!!   shocked   shocked



Edit to add: I'm guessing the answer to that question is related to the answer to the question of why their first action upon observing the tiger attacking one of the boys was to order the tiger to stop.    rolleyes  rolleyes  rolleyes

I know that if I had to fight a tiger with a .40...
That I would get the pelt for the coolest bed spread in SF!
