What is this world coming to? I used to like these furry creatures. But even in California the squirrels are going nuts. Now the pissed-off squirrel epidemic is reaching Europe

In a twist of nature, a squirrel has gone on a rampage and decided to take out his aggressions on the unsuspecting and elderly people.
Reports come from a small, Bavarian town on the border of Austria saying that a squirrel went into a strange frenzy and started to bite people only to meet his doom from a septuagenarian gardener.
The squirrel first bit a lady who was hanging out in her living room. She felt little claws on her back. The squirrel had entered her house through a window. The rodent then bit the lady on her hand and wouldn't let go. She screamed, ran outside her house, and shook it off.
Next, the little fur ball scampered into a construction site. There he decided to bite a construction worker on the hand and arm. He beat it off with a measuring pole.
But this was a tenacious animal. The squirrel ran into the garden of a 72 year-old man and started to bite him all over. The gardener was not pleased.
He beat it off with a crutch and bludgeoned the animal until it died.
No one knows for sure what got into that animals head, but the best guess from local experts ( you know, everyone needs a job) is that the mating season caused his strange behavior or it could have been diseased.
