A mountain lion attack in a remote area of Northern California resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man and the injury of his 18-year-old brother while they were hunting for shed antlers in Georgetown. The younger brother called 911 when they were attacked, and deputies found the mountain lion next to the older brother who was already deceased. The injured brother was taken to a local hospital. Authorities are working to locate the mountain lion, with mountain lion attacks on humans being rare in California.
