ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) — A wildlife center in Arlington is offering a $1,000 reward for information about who shot a bald eagle.

The Daily Herald reports the Sarvey Wildlife Center got a call Wednesday from someone who said they heard gunshots and saw an eagle fall to the ground near Snohomish.

Wildlife center staff brought the eagle estimated to be about a year old to the center for medical care.

They said yesterday that the eagle died overnight.

Eagles are federally protected.
