Backyard Bear Encounters Reported in Washington, North Carolina

A 12-year-old boy in Bellingham, Washington, fought off a black bear that attacked him in his backyard; the bear then injured his father before fleeing, and both were treated for minor injuries. Wildlife officials have set a trap after the bear returned to the area, while the family says the encounter has not changed their view of the risks posed by local bears.
