Bear Attack in Kenai Leaves Woman Injured | Anchorage News

A woman in Kenai was seriously injured early Thursday when a mother brown bear and her cubs charged into her yard after she let her dogs out. In a desperate attempt to protect her dog, she fired a shotgun — which only enraged the bear, leading to a brutal attack on her front deck. A bystander scared the bear off with a loud yell, but not before she suffered major injuries and was airlifted to Anchorage. Wildlife officials are now investigating and urging locals to report any bear sightings immediately. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
