SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA, JUN 25 – The sow repeatedly invaded homes and vehicles before attacking a camper, prompting officials to euthanize her after unsuccessful hazing efforts, while her cubs were taken for rehabilitation.

  • Early Sunday morning, a female black bear entered a camper's occupied trailer at a campground located within Emerald Bay State Park, attacking her and causing injuries.
  • The bear had caused multiple break-ins and conflicts in South Lake Tahoe since at least June 10, and officials had unsuccessfully tried hazing and trapping it since June 17.
