Two grizzly bear attacks in Bella Coola, British Columbia, in less than a year have left two dead and a community searching for answers.
Jennifer Belcarras, 48, and her daughter Selah Reed, 20, were killed while walking on the Snooka Trail, minutes from their home.
The tragedy comes nearly a year after a grizzly bear attacked a group of elementary school students from the Nuxalk Nation during an excursion a few kilometers away, injuring 11 people.
“Our community members are being retriggered,” a local leader said, as conservation officers use DNA samples and bear traps to determine whether the same animal might be involved.
