A bear swiped a security guard in the kitchen of St. Regis Aspen Resort and remains on the loose as wildlife officials work to safely capture the animal.
A bear is being sought in Aspen, Colorado, after wildlife officials say the animal broke into a hotel kitchen and attacked a security guard on Monday night. The attack happened around 11 p.m. at the St. Regis Aspen Resort when the security guard went to investigate reports of a bear inside the hotel, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said in a news release on Tuesday. The guard entered the kitchen and turned a corner, surprising the bear, the agency said.
Bears are still active in the area as they prepare for their winter hibernation, the CPW warned. "While it is common for people to see bears and other wildlife inside Aspen town limits, it is everyone's responsibility to give wildlife space and remember the importance of being ‘bear aware’ at all times," the agency said.
