A five-year-old boy has been hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a mountain lion attack in Southern California over the weekend.
The big cat has since been euthanized by California state rangers, according to officials on Tuesday.
According to a statement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the mountain lion attack occurred at Malibu Creek State Park, which is west of Los Angeles.

The boy was part of a group picnicking with friends and family from Woodland Hills.
“One or more adults charged at the lion, and it released the boy,” said the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in a statement. “Multiple witnesses saw the attack and observed the mountain lion climb up a nearby tree.”

According to the statement, the boy was airlifted to nearby Northridge Hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries and was released early Monday morning.
Officials said the mountain lion was euthanized with a firearm while the animal remained in the same tree. Rangers deemed the mountain lion a threat to the public. The big cats rarely attack humans.

Only around 20 mountain lion attacks have been confirmed in the state of California. Three of those attacks have been fatal, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said earlier this year.

Earlier this year, one man was killed and another seriously injured in Northern California after a mountain lion stalked and pounced on the two brothers. They had attempted first to scare the big cat away before it attacked.
“CDFW and State Parks officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the statement concluded.

Wyoming
The future of Wyoming voting
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now)—With the presidential election less than nine weeks away, we examine how our voting process is shaping up for the big day.
As we approach the general election in a few months, we look at what Wyoming is doing to ensure that our voting population is properly represented and engaged.
Voting is one of those rights sacred to our democratic republic.
Yet Wyoming’s new voting rules, implemented after the last legislative session, decreased the number of days for early and absentee voting.
It also pulled absentee ballot drop boxes and created a no-party-switching bill.
These changes leave some voters confused and disconnected from the election outcomes.
With that in mind, I contacted the ACLU, which told me they worry that these tactics to secure voting transparency may sow seeds of mistrust in our electoral system and the election itself.
“Elections matter, and the election this November could affect the course of our country and democracy for decades to come, years to come, decades to come,” said Janna Farley, ACLU Wyoming.
Secretary of State Chuck Gray disagrees, saying he feels there is still room for improvement and wants to take it further.
Suggesting proof of residency and citizenship as further measures.
These were the same measures vetoed by Governor Mark Gordon last year for overreach.
”We’re hoping to bring through an even more explicit ban through the legislative session in 2025 that would be, of course, after the general election. But that, I think, is one of the election integrity reforms that we are looking forward to working on,” said Chuck Gray, Secretary of State of Wyoming
Grays says it is important to adhere to the uniformity of the election code, and if the numbers continue to go down, he will reevaluate that.
He also says he’s still proud of the last primaries and looks forward to the Wyoming state, house, and presidential elections.
He also adds that seven counties still have drop-off boxes in them.

San Francisco 49ers fans upset over controversial new Levi's Stadium tailgating policy

The San Francisco 49ers are speaking out and defending a newly implemented tailgating policy that has not bode well with fans.
The new policy, dubbed directed parking, would allow parking lot attendants to direct cars to the next available parking spot. The team said it hopes the new policy will help with “reducing congestion, improved safety, enhanced accessibility, time savings and improved traffic.”
Since the announcement, over 3,100 people have signed a Change.org petition saying the policy would make it harder for groups to park near one another and that its implementation is a sign of poor communication between the Niners and fans,
“It’s just wrecking everything. It’s definitely going to hurt the experience because the tradition of football is tailgating as well,” said Niner Empire’s Joe Leonor, who started the petition.
Despite pushback, the team said the implementation is all about safety.
“Safety is our top priority,” the team told NBC Bay Area in a statement. “… And while we want to ensure all guests are able to enjoy themselves. Tailgating guidelines are in place to protect the safety of all guests and staff.”
On the team’s website, the Niners acknowledged fans’ concerns and advised them to “sync your arrival or meet your party at a designated area near the stadium and caravan. Unfortunately, if you do not arrive at the same time, we cannot accommodate this request.”
Avid tailgater Rey Pena said he hopes the team reconsiders the policy because it is a way for fans, friends, and family to get together.
“We pride ourselves on our tailgates,” he said. “We show up hours before a tailgate just to get in line and to have this spot to set up so our loved ones, when they do show up, regardless of traffic, [they] can tailgate with us.”
Mark Castanon, another avid tailgater, said changing the way fans can tailgate ruins their enthusiasm.
“Tailgating’ is a way that family comes together. The faithful are family. And I have a lot of family out there in those tailgates,” Castanon said. “That’s what we look forward to. Of course, we love the game. Of course, we love the players. Of course, we love the team and the game, but … we get ready to go by going to the tailgates.”
