BILLINGS - Wyoming officials say someone has illegally shot a wolf in the northwest part of the state.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is offering a $3,000 dollar reward for any information on the shooting. It is the first known illegal killing of a wolf in the state since the animals were removed from the endangered species list.

Sixteen other wolves have been killed legally in Wyoming since late March.
