The Latest: Runner Recovering After Black Bear Attack

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — A marathon runner is recovering after a bear attacked her roughly 2 miles from the finish line of a race in New Mexico's Jemez Mountains. Wildlife officials say a female black bear mauled the woman Saturday after she unknowingly surprised one of its cubs in the Valles Caldera National Preserve near Los Alamos. The woman was taking part in an annual race. She went to a hospital with injuries to her head, neck and upper body and was released Sunday. Authorities have euthanized the bear, saying state law requires them to put down any wild animal that attacks or bites a person. New Mexico Department of Game and Fish officers are searching for the bear's three cubs Monday, with plans to take them to a nearby wildlife center.
