Mountain lion shot: A story in the July 2 LATExtra section about the Santa Monica Police Department’s consideration of new wildlife procedures said police officers and firefighters tried to subdue a mountain lion with tranquilizing darts after the animal entered Santa Monica on May 22. It was a California Department of Fish and Game captain who fired the tranquilizing darts. After the lion became aggressive and tried to flee, a police officer shot and killed the lion. A story about the incident in the May 23 LATExtra section also should have clarified who fired darts.
