A mountain lion that attacked a 5-year-old boy and dragged the child across his front lawn in Southern California was shot and killed by a wildlife officer, authorities say.
The 65-pound mountain lion attacked the boy while he was playing near his house Thursday in Calabasas and"dragged him about 45 yards" across the front lawn, said Capt. Patrick Foy, a spokesman with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"She ran out of the house and started punching and striking the mountain lion with her bare hands and got him off her son," he said. "Due to its behavior and proximity to the attack, the warden believed it was likely the attacking lion and to protect public safety shot and killed it on site," the wildlife department said in a statement Saturday.
