HELENA, Mont. — At least one bear attacked three people at a campground near Yellowstone National Park before dawn Wednesday, killing one person and injuring two others, Montana wildlife officials said. A male died in the attack at the Soda Butte campground just east of Cooke City that was reported about 4 a.m., Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim said. A female suffered severe lacerations from bites on her arms, while another male was bitten on his calf and taken to a hospital in Cody, Wyo. Wildlife officials did not release the identities or ages of the victims and said they were sending a response team to piece together what happened. "We don't know if it was one bear, two bears, a black bear or grizzly bear," Aasheim said. "Obviously the bear's gone now. Will it come back tonight? That's the question." After the attack was reported, authorities cleared the campground, telling campers to go to their cars at 6 a.m. The Park County sheriff's department report said tents in the area were smashed, Aasheim said. http://www.grandviewoutdoors.c...t-Montana-Campground -and: COOKE CITY, Montana (AP) — A Canadian woman who was attacked by a bear in the middle of the night at a busy U.S. campground was bitten on her arm and leg before she instinctively played dead so the animal would leave her alone, she said Thursday. At least one bear rampaged through the campground near Yellowstone National Park in the middle of the night Wednesday, killing one man and injuring Deb Freele of Ontario and another man. Appearing on the network morning talk shows from a Wyoming hospital, Freele said she woke up just before the bear bit her arm. "I screamed, he bit harder, I screamed harder, he continued to bite,'' she said. Her survival instinct kicked in, and she realized that the screaming wasn't working. "I told myself, play dead,'' she said. "I went totally limp. As soon as I went limp, I could feel his jaws get loose and then he let me go.'' http://www.grandviewoutdoors.c...Says-She-Played-Dead | ||
