German Shepherd Kills Bobcat After String of Prescott-Area Attacks

Authorities open an investigation into whether one bobcat carried out the attacks.

Overview

  • The bobcat, which attacked residents over Sunday and Monday, was killed Monday when a German shepherd defended its owner.
  • The series began Sunday around 6 p.m. near Inscription Canyon Drive with a man hospitalized after significant injuries.
  • A second attack was reported Monday morning on Green Brier Drive in the Williamson Valley area.
  • Officials say this aggression is rare for bobcats and likely involved the same animal, though confirmation is pending.
  • Deputies report three people are being treated for cuts and bites, and they are reviewing a possible fourth incident while urging reports to Arizona Game and Fish and no feeding wildlife.
