JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A giraffe has killed a South African filmmaker who was on assignment at a wildlife facility northwest of Johannesburg.Filming agency CallaCrew says Carlos Carvalho was filming a feature on Wednesday at the Glen Afric farm in Broederstroom when he "had a fatal run-in with a giraffe on set." The agency says Carvalho was flown to a Johannesburg hospital and died there of injuries that night. South African media say Carvalho was near the giraffe when it swung its neck and knocked him over.
