This is the best summary I could come up with:
A three-year old black male bear was “dispatched” after bursting into a family’s cabin in Alpine, Arizona, and taking a swipe at a 15-year-old boy who was alone inside watching YouTube videos.
In the latest incident, the young bear attacked Brigham Hawkins at his family cabin near Blue River Road in Alpine.
“Never in our wildest dreams did we think (a bear) would come in the home,” his mom, Carol, told AZ Family.
Arizona game and fish department supervisor Shawn Wagner told KCTV that the quick reaction by the boy’s family “to distract the bear from what very easily in a matter of seconds could have turned into a real tragedy there”.
It also suggests setting up campsites away from places bears might forage for food, such as bodies of water, and avoid wearing scented lotions, deodorants, or perfume.
But officials advised against running away but to back away slowly, keep eye contact with the bear, make yourself bigger by flaunting your arms or by pulling your shirt/jacket higher than your head.
