Bear Attack in Kenai Front Yard | Anchorage News

A woman was seriously injured early Thursday morning in her Kenai front yard after confronting a mother bear and her cubs—she fired a shotgun in an attempt to scare them off, but it only enraged the sow, which then attacked her. A bystander intervened, helping her inside, while troopers later found overturned bird feeders, a known bear attractant. Wildlife officials are searching for the bear family and urge residents to report sightings. This isn’t the first time—just a year ago, another woman was attacked while jogging nearby and had to be flown to Anchorage, but survived.
