A South Coast elementary school was placed on lockdown after a mountain lion was spotted in a nearby neighborhood.
The mountain lion was spotted at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday on the 300 block of Royal Avenue in Simi Valley.
The 100 plus pound mountain lion was then seen on the 1300 block of Carmel Drive. As a precaution, nearby Madera Elementary School was put on lockdown. But, it was a minimum day so there weren’t a lot of students on campus.
Police looked for the mountain lion, but were apparently unable to find it.
