Bear invades Colorado school, forces evacuation and police action
Completely unusual scenes took place at Aspen School District Middle School in the American state of Colorado. A bear broke into the facility, requiring the intervention of wildlife officers.
It's well known that a close encounter with a bear can have tragic consequences. Therefore, it's no surprise that after such an animal broke into a school in Colorado, great anxiety spread among the students and teachers. Everyone was terrified.
The people in the facility were evacuated. The bear was most interested in what was happening in the cafeteria, likely drawn in by the smells.
The bear was finally "asked to leave" the school by a group of wildlife officers, supported by police officers from two departments.
USA. Moments of terror at school. All because of a bear
The entire situation was recounted on Facebook by the Pitkin County Sheriff's office. It was revealed that students and teachers were evacuated to neighbouring buildings on the campus, and that services made efforts to deal with the problem.
While some kids are tough to get out of bed and going on Monday mornings, that was not the case for this little bear. Sometime early Monday morning, a small black bear cub found its way into the Aspen School District Middle School and ended up sniffing its way into the school’s cafeteria. All students were sent to other buildings on campus while deputies and officers from the Sheriff’s Office, Aspen Police Department, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife helped remove the little cub from the school. The cub was relocated and all students were back to their regular Monday morning activities by 9:30 AM, reports the Pitkin County Sheriff's office.
