COOKE CITY, MONTANA (AP) -- Five baited traps have been set at a campground in Yellowstone National Park as wildlife officials try to track down one or more bears responsible for a deadly attack.
At least one bear rampaged through the 10-acre Soda Butte campground near Cooke City, Mont., early Wednesday, killing one person and injuring two others.
The identities and ages of the victims haven't been released, but authorities say a male was killed, and a male and a female were hurt.
Wildlife experts are collecting bear hair, saliva and droppings while measuring the bite wounds of the victims to determine the type and number of bears involved.
A Montana wildlife official says if they trap a bear involved in the attack, it will be killed.
