RED LODGE, Mont. (AP) — A black bear mauled and injured a 3-year-old girl in a tent at a private campground just north of Yellowstone National Park. The girl was attacked Sunday night at a campground south of Red Lodge and taken to a hospital in Billings. A state wildlife agency didn’t have any information about her condition on Tuesday. A bear believed to have been involved was captured and killed on Monday afternoon. Wildlife officials say garbage, food and a cooler were found around and inside the tent where the attack occurred. The wildlife agency recommends keeping such items out of tents and stored in bear-resistant containers or vehicles.
