TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A Border Patrol agent escaped injury in a mountain lion attack near Nogales.
Agency spokesman Rob Daniels says the agent was hiking yesterday near the Santa Cruz River when the mountain lion pounced.
The agent, he says, shot at the big cat, and it turned tail and ran away.
Daniels says it doesn't appear the mountain lion was hit.
Daniels told the Arizona Daily Star that encounters with wild animals are not uncommon for agents who spend time in remote areas.
