Mountain lion killer strikes in California hike tragedy
Barbara Schoener, a 40 year old marathon runner and mother of two, was killed by a mountain lion on a Auburn State Recreation Area trail. Hunters and shoot to kill orders hunted the animal as lawmakers push to repeal the 1990 cougar hunting ban. Sacramento area authorities believe the lion pounced on a brush covered trail and dragged the partially eaten body 100 yards. Officials seek the carcass to test for rabies and prevent further attacks.
