Grizzly bear blamed for fatal Montana mauling and Idaho attack is killed after breaking into a house

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. (AP) — Montana wildlife officials say a grizzly bear that fatally mauled a woman on a forest trail west of Yellowstone National Park this summer and attacked a man in Idaho in 2020 has been killed after it broke into a house near West Yellowstone. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says in a statement Wednesday that a homeowner reported that a bear with a cub broke through a kitchen window and taken a container of dog food early Saturday. Later that day agency workers captured the cub and shot the 10-year-old female grizzly. Genetic testing confirmed the bear was involved in the fatal attack on 48-year-old Amie Adamson of Kansas in July, as well as the attack in Idaho. Officials are looking for a zoo to take the cub.
