Grizzly bear that killed woman weeks ago euthanized after recently breaking into Montana home, officials say
Montana officials said first responders shot a bear that was linked to a fatal July incident in West Yellowstone after it and its cub broke into a home. Montana wildlife officers and law enforcement euthanized a bear that was involved in a fatal attack on a woman over the summer after the grizzly was caught trying to break into a home, officials said. A West Yellowstone homeowner reported a bear with a cub broke through a kitchen window Saturday morning and removed a container of dog food from inside the house, according to the office of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). The agency said in a release it sent staff and local officers to the scene and, with the authorization of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, shot the 10-year-old female grizzly "due to an immediate public safety threat from the bear’s food-conditioned behavior."
