- A hiker was attacked by a bear on May 21 near Lake Josephine in Glacier National Park, with a witness reporting hearing screams and seeing the victim yell "bear attack."
- Devin Dufrene, 21, who witnessed the aftermath, used a satellite device to report the incident and later encountered another bear on the trail, prompting his group to climb a cliff for safety.
- Park rangers were observed heading to the attack site with an empty stretcher, and a section of the North Shore Trail was subsequently closed following the incident.
- This incident marks the second bear attack in Glacier National Park this month, following the discovery of Anthony Pollio, a Florida man, who was found dead on May 6 with injuries consistent with a “bear encounter” after going missing on May 3.
- Separately, a video was recently uploaded by hikers showing their encounter with two young grizzly bears in the park, during which they deployed bear spray to deter the animals.
