Officers Shoot Bear in Hospital
6/16/2004
ROCKY MOUNT, Va. - A three hundred pound bear walked into a local Rocky Mountain hospital early Tuesday morning, surprising hospital staff and patients. The animal gained access by activating a sensor that opened the doors when it approached.
Two officers trapped the bear in a computer room after it wandered through the hallways.
Officers ended up shooting and killing the animal for fear that the full-grown black bear might get loose.
