## Caption

A mountain lion was shot and killed in Downieville, California, last week by two residents who came to their neighbor’s aid.⁠
⁠
The cougar had a pet dog in its mouth when it was killed. The neighbor reportedly fired a warning shot first. When the cougar took off running with the dog still in its mouth, the neighbor fired again, dropping the lion but not killing it. A final shot to the head ended the incident, and unfortunately, the dog did not survive the attack.⁠
