Boulder County, Colorado Bear Attack Injures One

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials responded to a reported black‑bear attack near Beaver Reservoir in Boulder County, Colorado. One person was injured in the incident, which authorities are investigating as a developing story.

Bear attacks in the state are relatively uncommon, with only one to three reported each year. The agency warned that black bears are generally non‑aggressive but can become defensive if startled, protecting cubs, or feeling trapped. Officials advised outdoor visitors to carry bear spray, make noise, and follow safety guidelines to reduce the risk of encounters.
