"Rare Fatal Mountain Lion Attack Leaves 1 Dead, 1 Injured in Northern California"

Two brothers were attacked by a mountain lion while searching for shed deer antlers in the Northern California woods, leaving one dead and the other with traumatic injuries. This was the first fatal cougar attack in California in 20 years. The surviving teenager called 911 and was found by authorities, who then located the deceased brother with the mountain lion nearby. Deputies scared off the mountain lion and attempted to administer aid, but the victim had already died. The teenager was taken to a hospital for treatment. Authorities dispatched the mountain lion and are conducting further examination. Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare in California, with fewer than 50 reported since 1890, including six fatalities.
