Colorado bear attacks surge to record levels as teen injured through bedroom window
A black bear broke into a sleeping teenager's home and wounded a camper at a nearby site within days, marking a sharp increase in attacks across the state.
A black bear burst through a bedroom window and scratched a teenage girl in Colorado, state wildlife officials said. The incident occurred days after another bear bit a camper at a southwestern Colorado campground, where the animal reportedly swiped at a woman's tent after she heard a growl.
The attacks are part of a record-high number of bear incidents reported across Colorado this year, according to the wildlife agency.
