MALIBU — A mountain lion is dead after trackers found and killed it following an attack on an 11-year-old girl as she fed chickens in Malibu.
Authorities shot and killed the cougar. The girl was taken to a hospital for treatment of unspecified but non-life-threatening injuries to an arm following the attack around 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the 32500 block of Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Malibu-Lost Hills Station.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife trackers found and killed the cougar and DNA tests should confirm that it is the one that bit the girl, officials said.
Last September, a mountain lion attacked a 5-year-old boy in Malibu Canyon Creek State Park.
Last week, a 6-year-old boy was attacked by a coyote in an evening attack at Del Amo Park in Carson, where the youth was with his mother attending his sister’s softball game. He got 20 stitches to close wounds to his head, back and legs.
