Bear Breaks Into New Jersey Home
VERNON, N.J. (AP) ―
Wildlife officials were trying to trap a bear that broke into a home in Vernon and attacked garbage in the kitchen.
A police officer fired a shotgun at the bear, but officials don't believe the animal was wounded.
State officials have already trapped three bears in the Lake Wanda neighborhood to condition them to fear and avoid humans.
Officials said the traps were set because people were illegally feeding the bears.
