New video shows the aftermath of a bear attack, and gunshots, in western Wisconsin. Authorities say they were trying to shoot the bear after it attacked a woman near Comstock on Saturday. Newly obtained dash and body camera footage from police in Cumberland shows an officer responding to the scene here near Comstock just after 2 p.m.
The woman was severely injured but able to call 911 and was taken to a hospital. No black bear attack fatalities have been recorded in state history.
When the Wisconsin DNR and USDA arrived at the property after the attack, they found only one black bear cub in a tree, but there was no sign of the mother. Since the attack, they have been using a hound dog and traps to try and find the bear who mauled the woman.
