A polar bear attacked and killed two people in Wales, on the western tip of the Seward Peninsula.
“Initial reports indicate that a polar bear had entered the community and had chased multiple residents,” troopers wrote. “The bear fatally attacked an adult female and juvenile male – it was shot and killed by a local resident as it attacked the pair.”
According to the dispatch, troopers and the Department of Fish and Game are planning to travel to Wales once weather permits. In an email, Department of Public Safety Communications Director Austin McDaniel wrote that they are not likely to have additional information to release on Tuesday.
