Colorado woman killed in apparent bear attack

A woman was found dead in Durango, Colorado, on Friday night after what officials believe was a bear attack, Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced Saturday.

"This is a tragic event and a sad reminder that bears are wild and potentially dangerous," CPW Southwest Region manager Cory Chick said in a statement.  The 39-year-old woman, whose identity has not yet been released, went on a walk with her two dogs on Friday, the woman's boyfriend told the La Plata County Sheriff's Office. The boyfriend said that when he returned to their home that night, the woman was not there but the two dogs were. Upon searching for her, he found her body near a local highway and reported the incident.
