A grizzly bear attacked and killed a person camping in the US. T he attack earlier today has triggered an intensive search for the bear by wildlife officials and law enforcement officers who planned to kill the animal, officials said. The pre-dawn attack happened in Ovando, a town of fewer than 100 people, in western Montana said Greg Lemon, a spokesperson with Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks. The bear had previously wandered into the area where the victim was camping and left but later returned, Powell County Sheriff Gavin Roselles said. “There was an earlier contact with the bear prior to the event,” Mr Roselles said. “The bear basically came back into the campsite. It wandered into a campsite a couple different times.” A team of law enforcement and wildlife specialists was brought in to track down and kill the bear, officials said. A crew aboard a helicopter was assisting as searchers looked for a « daybed » where the animal might be sleeping to get out of the heat, said Mr Lemon, adding that the bear was believed to have left Ovando after the mauling.
