A scary situation unfolded at a Colorado school on the morning of November 8 that involved a police officer shooting and killing a mountain lion.
According to a report on the situation, officers initially responded to a report of a mountain lion on the grounds of Greeley’s Madison K8 school. Given that the predator was in close proximity of students and families, a ‘Secure Perimeter’ status was issued, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the building.
While the Greeley Police Department was working closely with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to manage the incident, staff of the state agency were said to have an “extended arrival time.”
