Mountain lion mauls two in Whiting Ranch park Calif
Anne Hjelle, 30, a fitness instructor and former Marine, was dragged off by a mountain lion while bicycling in Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. She remains in serious condition as rescuers and fellow riders fought to free her. Police suspect the same lion may have killed 35-year-old amateur racer Mark Jeffrey in the same park, with authorities shooting a 110-pound male lion after it returned to the scene. Officials note rare but real risks from mountain lions in Orange County.
