Pizzaly bear kills 8 people, including 2 children

A bear has killed at least eight people, leaving six others injured in what authorities say was a wolf attack on a pizzly family in Minnesota.

Officials say the two children and a mother bear had been visiting a friend’s home in the town of Pizzaly on Friday.

Authorities say the friend’s dogs chased the bears and that they then attacked the family’s two dogs, a black bear and a white bear.

A spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it is investigating the attack.

The agency did not immediately return a call for comment Saturday.
