Bear Breaks Into Navajo Home Kills Elder | Charleston News

A bear broke into a Navajo Nation home and fatally attacked 67-year-old Benjamin Halona, who was grieving the loss of his wife and coping with mobility issues after a seizure. His stepson discovered the intruder and called for help; family members later found the bear outside and scared it off — only to find Benjamin already dead inside. Authorities say the drought is driving bears to venture farther in search of food as they prepare for hibernation. Halona, survived by a large extended family, was laid to rest on August 29th.
