Police in New Jersey shot
and killed a 3-year-old female black bear after it broke into a home through a
basement window and sneaked into the family room, where the owner found it
eating cat food and YORK Peppermint Patties. The West Milford homeowner called
police after spotting the 200-pound bruin in her living room shortly after 10
a.m. Thursday; the caller then fled the house. Authorities say two officers
responded. When they got there, one of the officers saw the bear leave the same
window it used to get into the home. The officer shot the bear. No one was
injured. The homeowner said she couldn't sleep Thursday night she was so
frightened; she said every time she heard a sound she feared it was a bear
approaching. The bear didn't make much of a mess at the woman's home,
aside from leaving some chocolates dumped in the family room and ruining the
screen on the window it used to get inside. The homeowner says she plans to put
bars on her back window. She says she's lived on the three-acre property her
entire life and never experienced a fright like the one she did Thursday
morning. Bears that enter homes are considered immediate threats and are put
down to save people's lives, according to the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection.
The Passaic County town has had "a lot of bear
issues," according to police. It's not clear if Thursday was the first
time one of the creatures entered a person's home.
