Wildlife authorites in Southern California’s Orange County shot and killed a mountain lion after it stalked a mother and her young children on a hiking trail and later walked toward deputies when they arrived at the scene. “It was five feet away and showed no signs of fear, so the warden killed it,” said Andrew Hughan, spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. LA Times.
