Conservation officers in British Columbia are no longer actively trying to capture the grizzly bear responsible for last month’s “extraordinary attack” on a group of schoolchildren and teachers that left four with severe injuries.
A statement from the B.C. Conservation Officer Service on Friday said DNA and other forensic evidence had ruled out the involvement of four bears that were captured on Wednesday.
