Bear Busts Through Nursing Home Window Before Being Lured Out with Rice Krispie Treats

Presbyterian Senior Living got an unusual visitor when a black bear burst through a window at the facility Staff lured it away with food after one person whacked it with a walker The Pennsylvania Game Commission safely captured and relocated the cubA nursing home in Pennsylvania had to evict an unwanted guest after a wild bear burst through their window looking for food. Staff and residents at Presbyterian Senior Living had a busy night on Tuesday, June 3 when a juvenile black bear broke through a window just after 11 p.m. One photo shared by CBS News Pittsburgh showed a shattered window, any showed claw marks by a different window sill. "I grabbed a walker and was hitting him, trying to get him away from the residents," Charlene Elliot told the news station exclusively during an on-camera interview. According to the nurse, her top priority was protecting the elderly residents: "Cause my thought was he was going to... maul them or swipe, slap at them.' 'That was my worst fear," she added. Elliot said her team did their best to get the bear out, using Rice Krispies Treats to lure the wild animal away from their Presbyterian Senior Living residents. Eventually their efforts worked, and they were able to get the animal out while keeping their residents safe. Pennsylvania Game Commission later arrived and set up a trap, which was able to humanely capture the approximately 150 pound cub and relocate it by Wednesday, June 4. Officials say of the estimated 18,000 black bears living in the state, most of them are generally afraid of humans and attacks rarely happen. The animals are typically just curious or looking for easy food. Elliot told the news station she was pleased with the work she did to keep her community safe.

"To prevent future wildlife encounters, the game warden safely relocated the bear to a more suitable habitat today and all bird feeders on our campus were removed."
