Bear kills woman walking her dogs in Colorado, officials say Updated: 3 hours ago
Print article A man came home Friday evening to a perplexing scene: His girlfriend’s two dogs were outside the Durango, Colo., residence, their leashes still on. But his girlfriend was nowhere to be found. He spent an hour searching before he found her body about 9:30 p.m. The 39-year-old woman had been killed in a bear attack while walking her dogs - an extraordinarily rare incident. The state has recorded three other such cases in the past 50 years. “This is a tragic event and a sad reminder that bears are wild and potentially dangerous,” Cory Chick, Southwest Region manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said in a news release.
