Yikes, how sad. I wonder if the bear was provoked or protecting its offspring, usually they will just run away

The hiker was believed to be alone during the encounter, and no bear spray or firearms were found at the scene.

I am shocked, SHOCKED I say. Any wagers on where she was from?

Looks like she was from Kansas. There are more articles out with details.

Aw dang, I had my chips on west coast.
