A mountain lion killed one mountain biker and mauled another in Washington state on Saturday when they rode into its territory. State officials later tracked the animal and shot it dead, police said. The mountain bikers were riding together down a remote, backwoods trail at 11am local time in an area near North Bend, Washington state, around 30 miles (48 km) east of Seattle, when the they encountered the animal. Officers of the state fish and game department tracked the cat with dogs and killed it, Abbott said. It was only the second deadly attack by a mountain lion in Washington state in the last 100 years, Abbott said.
