An Oregon elementary school moved all student activities inside after a reported cougar sighting.
The Daily Astorian reports staff at Seaside Heights Elementary School earlier this week escorted students home after a neighbor informed Principal John McAndrews of a cougar in the neighborhood.
Seaside police, Clatsop County and Oregon State Police all were notified of the sighting.
The alert came after residents of a local apartment complex witnessed a fight that left a house cat dead or missing at the hands of a violent unknown predator, possibly a cougar.
The apartment complex manager says she reported the incidents to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and state police.
