Police cornered the cougar in the back yard of Ben Greene
He said he then ran into his house and watched police chase the cougar on foot.
10 shots in a residential neighboorhood = very bad. At least no kids were hurt.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my readings cougard sightings are being documented more and more often in the midwest and east. Actually, several years ago there was a sighting' of a cougar in Virginia. No visual evidence, just a blurry still photo. Still, this was before photoshop and it looked EERILY similar to a big cat. It really is scary. These cats can kill up to 30 deer per year, individually.
