2 children dead after large snake escapes N.B. urban zoo. (cbc.ca)Matthew Keys ‏@MatthewKeysLive 11m
CBC: Two children dead after boa constrictor escapes from New Brunswick zoo.
Two children died after a large snake got into an apartment in Campbellton, N.B.
The snake is believed to have gotten loose from an urban zoo called Reptile Ocean. The victims were reportedly five and seven years old.
They were in the apartment above the zoo.
Initial reports suggest the snake was a boa constrictor. CBC is trying to confirm the details.
"The city is in shock," said Deputy Mayor Ian Comeau.

ETA: thread title notwithstanding, more recent reports have said the snake
was a python; also, the initially reported "urban zoo" is now called a pet store
