Connecticut officials are investigating after a black bear bit a woman who was walking her dog Friday morning.
The unidentified woman was walking in Avon, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) officials said at a news conference Friday afternoon. She returned home after she was bit and called for help. She declined medical attention on the scene and went to a hospital for treatment, DEEP said.
The woman suffered superficial injuries and minor puncture wounds. The bear was humanely euthanized at the scene, as is protocol in situations when a black bear attacks a human, officials said in a press release from DEEP.

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