Arizona Game and Fish officers said they shot and killed a mountain lion in a northwest Prescott neighborhood Sunday night after a resident reported it attacked his dog in their backyard. According to a statement from the department, the mountain lion killed, an adult female between 3 and 5 years old, is believed to be one of several mountain lions that have killed three dogs and injured three more over the past four weeks. Game and Fish said that another mountain lion was also present during the dog attack that produced the call Sunday, with the caller stating it acted aggressively toward him.
