Current Events > Black bear shot dead after rampaging through the city. Injuring several people.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hunters shot and killed a brown bear in Sapporo, Hokkaido, on Friday after it rampaged through the city, injuring four people including a Self-Defense Forces member and lumbering across busy roads.

City officials tweeted that the bear had been "exterminated," with a local television station saying hunters had shot the bear.

Earlier, dramatic news footage showed the bear bounding along a residential street, crossing a busy road and clawing at the gates of a military barracks, causing alarmed troops to scatter.

Sapporo will host the Olympic marathon and race-walking events in August.
Another victim was mauled by the bear after it attacked him from behind, TV footage showed. The person was taken away on a stretcher.

The rampage prompted local school closures and the cancellation of several flights at a small regional airport, NHK reported.

Earlier, government spokesman Katsunobu Kato told people in the Hokkaido region to be on alert.

"A total of four people, including one Self-Defense Forces member, have been attacked and injured by the brown bear. We express our sincere sympathy to them," he said.

"Officials from Sapporo City, Hokkaido police, a local hunting association and other concerned agencies have arrived at the scene. They are coordinating efforts to capture the brown bear, or if deemed necessary, exterminate it."

One of the victims was in their 40s, one in their 70s and another in their 80s, according to NHK, which did not give details of the fourth.

Asian black bears are native to large parts of Japan, including the country's main island, while brown bears roam Hokkaido further north.

The Japan Bear and Forest Society has warned that forest-dwelling bears are being spotted in greater numbers in areas inhabited by humans as they search for food.

Nah he probably didnt even drop one of the 20 bear asses you need. Probably gotta kill another 100 to get all 20.

Japan has serious bear issues (not helping is the bear hunters aging and dying), I'm surprised the death toll isn't as bad as the US, Canada, or Russia.

A large bearlike animal, most likely a bear, has wandered down from the hills in search of food or, perhaps, employment.
