Officials have identified a woman and her 1-year-old son who were killed by a polar bear in a remote village in western Alaska.
Summer Myomick, 24, of Saint Michael, Alaska, and her 1-year-old son Clyde Ongtowasruk were attacked and killed by a polar bear near a school in Wales, on the western tip of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska State Troopers said Tuesday.
"Initial reports indicate that a polar bear had entered the community and had chased multiple residents," troopers wrote. "The bear fatally attacked an adult female and juvenile male."

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
