State wildlife officials killed a young, female mountain lion that was spotted stalking a deer in a neighborhood northwest of Missoula.

Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokeswoman Vivica Crowser says wildlife specialist Bob Wieser and his dog were able to respond immediately and treed the 50-pound cat on Thursday.

Missoula County Public Schools issued a notice of the lion's removal on Friday morning, asking parents to accompany their children to bus stops as a precaution.

Crowser says officials do not believe they are any other mountain lions in the area.
