More information about a deadly lion attack in Fresno County.  The owner of the Cat Haven in Dulap says a 26-year-old volunteer intern was inside a lion's cage when she was attacked.  Another employee was unable to lure the lion away from the victim.  Fresno County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed the lion in order to reach the victim.  She died at the scene.  The lion named "Cous Cous" was one of two lions the Cat Haven housed.  There's no word yet on the identity of the victim.  The Fresno County Sheriff's Department and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife are investigating the incident.
