Milan, Jan. 2 (LaPresse/AP) – A woman was killed in a suspected mountain lion attack while hiking alone in the mountains of northern Colorado. Wildlife officers located two mountain lions in the area and put them down. The attack occurred in the mountains south of the small community of Glen Haven, about 11 km northeast of Estes Park, considered the gateway to the eastern entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Shortly before noon yesterday, two hikers encountered a mountain lion near the woman’s body along a remote stretch of the Crosier Mountain trail, which is in a national forest. The two threw stones at the animal to scare it away from the area so they could assist the woman. One of the hikers is a doctor and attempted to treat the victim, but she was already dead. Mountain lion sightings are common in the wooded area where the suspected attack occurred, but there have been no recent attacks on humans.
