Grizzly Bear Dragged 65-Year-Old Woman Out of Tent, Mauled Her to Death in Montana

Wildlife authorities reported Wednesday that a grizzly bear dragged a lady from her tent in a tiny Montana town in the middle of the night and mauled her before neighboring campers could use bear spray to chase the bruin away.

Eight humans have been killed by grizzlies from a distinct population of around 700 bears in and around Yellowstone National Park in the last 20 years. In April, a backcountry guide was murdered while fishing near the park's boundary in southern Montana by a grizzly bear.

If the mauling was the result of an unexpected meeting or the bear was defending its young, bears are not usually killed. Because of the circumstances of Lokan's death, the bear implicated in his murder is deemed a public safety hazard, according to Lemon.
