"California Family Devastated by Fatal Mountain Lion Attack on Brothers"

A 21-year-old hunter, Taylen Brooks, was killed by a mountain lion while searching for deer antler sheds in Northern California, while his 18-year-old brother, Wyatt Brooks, survived with major injuries. The brothers attempted to scare off the lion, but it attacked Wyatt, leading to a struggle that resulted in Taylen's tragic death. The mountain lion was euthanized, and the attack marked the first fatal mountain lion incident in California since 2004.
