They knew bear protocol and followed it to a tee.”Authorities said officials at Banff National Park got an alert on Friday night from a GPS device that indicated a bear attack had occurred.
A team trained to respond to wildlife attacks was dispatched to investigate. Officials said that weather conditions barred them from using a helicopter to get to the site. They traveled through the night and arrived at the area where the alert came from at 1 a.m. Officials said the team found two people dead. They also found a grizzly bear “that displayed aggressive behaviour,” according to parks officials. The bear was euthanized “to ensure public safety.”“This is a tragic incident, and Parks Canada wishes to express its sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims,” officials said in a statement.
