The Encampment school went into lockout Tuesday afternoon after evidence of a mountain lion was spotted on the west side of the football field.

School officials reported on social media that Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel were on site monitoring the situation. For the safety of students and staff, the school remained on lockout for the remainder of the day.

Meanwhile, in Saratoga, no new updates on the reported sightings last week of a mountain lion near the hot pools and Veterans Island.
