According to a news release from Brookfield police, shortly before 6 p.m., they responded to a report of a cougar under a pine tree in a resident's backyard. Police said DNR agents responded and confirmed this was a cougar.

Police said the animal appeared to be very passive and may have been injured/hit by a car.
