There was a bizarre sighting in Omaha Wednesday evening – a mountain lion lying near a child protection center. The cougar was spotted outside of Project Harmony at 120th and Q Streets. An Omaha police officer tweeted out a photo of the big cat around 5 p.m.

The Nebraska Humane Society responded to the call. The mountain lion was eventually shot and killed by officers to protect the public.

No one was hurt.
