A Rossland, B.C., woman is sharing her story after a bear somehow got into her home and trashed the living room. Fortunately no one was hurt.
No one likes uninvited guests, especially an uninvited bear in your living room.
Kate Rice heard some banging in her living room in Rossland, B.C., at 1:00 a.m. last Saturday.
She did not think much of it, as her nine-year-old daughter was having a sleepover with a friend in the room next door.
When the banging intensified, she realized a bear was in her living room.
Rice ran and barricaded herself in her daughter’s room with her dog and the two children. She then called police.
“He was in the room beside us that he tore up. We could hear him breathing on the door that we were holding. It was quite the incident,” Rice said.
In a statement, the RCMP said officers had to force open the front door which “freed the bear that ended up trapped inside the residence.”
Luckily, no one was injured. But the way the bear got into the house remains a mystery.
