A man is recovering in hospital following a grizzly bear attack near Creston, B.C., on Saturday. Provincial conservation officers determined the animal's behaviour was defensive in nature. Arnold DeBoon, the mayor of Creston, says the attack is worrisome but shouldn't deter people from exploring the area, and he encouraged increased education around bear warning signs.

4 men charged with 1st-degree murder in death of 19-year-old in Abbotsford, B.C.

Homicide investigators say four men have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 19-year-old man in Abbotsford, B.C., in January. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said 21-year-old Ravdeep Gill of Winnipeg, 26-year-old Harmandeep Gill of Brampton, Ont. have been charged with first-degree murder and forcible confinement, as have Surrey residents Jaskaran Singh, 20, and Bipanpreet Singh, 22. A fifth man, 19-year-old Inderpreet Khosa of Abbotsford, has been charged with forcible confinement. IHIT said just before 2 a.m. PT on Jan. 27, witnesses reported seeing a man being assaulted and taken away in a vehicle from the 2900 block of Abbotsford's Victoria Street. Three hours later, police say the 19-year-old victim was found in Surrey's Crescent Beach area with severe injuries. He later succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
