FLORIDA SEES FIRST EVER FATAL BEAR ATTACK

(Naples, FL) -- At least one bear is believed to be responsible for killing a man and his dog just outside of his home in southwest Florida. It's believed to be the first recorded fatal bear attack involving a human in the state's history. Fish and Wildlife officials have killed three bears and set numerous traps near the Big Cypress Wildlife Management Area since the incident. In a Tuesday news conference, authorities said it's likely that more than one bear was involved in the deaths of the 89-year-old man and his dog.
