A pair of brothers were attacked by a cougar in Northern California, killing one and injuring the other. Police said the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will investigate the cause of the attack.
There have been nearly 50 confirmed cougar attacks on humans in the state since 1890, resulting in a total of six deaths. The last fatal cougar attack in California occurred in 2004, and the last such death in El Dorado County occurred in 1994, according to data from the state's fish and wildlife agency.
