‘I Could’ve Died’: Larimer County Deputy Describes Being Attacked By Rabid Mountain Lion - CBS Denver
“I could’ve died. That literally was a fight for my life. It was either kill or be killed,” Ross told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas. “Within two seconds it went from underneath the trailer to on my shoulder where I got bit.”
Ross was one of several law enforcement officers who responded to the park after a man was attacked by the same lion. That man, who was not identified publicly, was saved by a UPS driver who was nearby.
“I found a piece of pallet, and I started hitting (the lion) and he just took off,” said Alejandro Rodriguez, the UPS driver.
