A woman and a young boy in a remote village in far western Alaska were killed by a polar bear Tuesday, state troopers report.
Alaska State Troopers said they received the report of the attack at 2:30 p.m. yesterday in Wales, on the western tip of the Seward Peninsula, KTUU reported.
“Initial reports indicate that a polar bear had entered the community and had chased multiple residents,” police said in a statement on the deadly rampage.
AP reports the bear was shot and killed by a local resident as it attacked the pair, troopers said.
