Montana wildlife officials shot and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning that was believed to have dragged a woman from her tent in Montana earlier this week and killed her.
The bear was killed less than two miles from Ovando, a Montana town of fewer than 100 people and the place the woman was killed Tuesday morning.
“Last night, the Powell County Sheriff’s Office took a report from a resident who came home and found her door ripped off and large claw marks were present,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook Friday. “A short time later a male grizzly bear was killed in the area.”
The bear was killed after being caught raiding a chicken coop in an attack similar to one that occurred the night the woman was killed.
Given the proximity to Tuesday’s attack and the evidence found at the scene, Montana Fish, Wildlife &Parks officials believe the bear killed was the same one that attacked the woman, who was staying in a tent outside of an Ovando museum the night she was killed. However, officials said confirming DNA analysis will take a few days.

the bear was resisting arrest?
One of our neighbors when I was a child nearly lost their 5 year old daughter when she was carried off by a mountain lion in an Orange county CA park.
A brave hiker came upon the lion and beat it off the child with a stick. The child was severely injured, but survived.
He used a Glock 20, 10 mm pistol.
Thanks for posting it.
Better hope it’s the first one. Nahh, I’ll stick with with a 44 mag Blackhawk. It’ll get the job done.
I think he killed that bear with a knife.
The grizzlies in those parts have developed a taste for human flesh.
Kill more.
Moon bears are sweet. Black bears are ok most of the time.
Grizzlies are best when dead.
The bear probably though she was an indian, its natural prey.
Happy for you.
Lewis and Clark wrote in their journal that they had pretty much satisfied their curiosity about grizzley bears.
