It was originally reported by the Carrickfergus Times on Sunday evening, and the store manager Jonathan who witnessed the commotion gave some gas background information:
We have a pensioner named Billy who shops here and it charged at him and I grabbed him and dragged him through the door just in time before the goat crashed into the door!
And the manager of the Eurospar was working some beautiful puns into his account too:

The incident ended when someone, “believed to be the goat’s owner”, arrived and dragged the goat off by the horns.

“American media: mass shootings Irish media: rampant goats”
“We’re not kidding”
