California officials capture, kill mountain lion accused of attack on camp employee
Over the weekend, CDFW was able to locate and capture a mountain lion responsible for a June 14 attack on a summer camp employee in western Trinity County. The area is located in the middle of Redding and Shasta counties. Officials said a DNA analysis confirmed that the captured lion was the one responsible for the attack. Subsequently, the lion was euthanized.

'Although mountain lions typically pose little threat to humans, CDFW encourages those who live, work, and recreate in mountain lion country to take precautions to minimize the risk of encountering a mountain lion,' CDFW said on social media. 'These precautions include deer-proofing your property to avoid attracting a lion's main food source. To not hike, bike, or jog at dawn, dusk, or at night, and to avoid hiking, biking, or jogging alone.'
CDFW also advised the public to remove dense vegetation from around homes to reduce hiding spaces.
