So. Oregon homeowner shoots cougars that killed his cat

BLY, Ore. (AP) -- A homeowner in the southern Oregon town of Bly shot and killed two young cougars after he returned home and found them in his woodshed.

The man found his pet cat had been killed before he flushed the cougars out of the woodshed.

He tracked the animals and cornered them on a neighboring lot. But the homeowner called 911 to get permission to shoot the cougars.

State officials say the cougars were young -- probably just a year old -- and were likely looking for a quick meal.
