-- COQUITLAM, B.C. -- A bear that broke through a basement window in search of food east of Vancouver was shot and killed Thursday, a day after a woman was attacked in her yard just a few kilometres away.*
On Wednesday, a 35-year-old woman was attacked by another bear in the same neighbourhood while she was gardening in her yard.
The RCMP also shot that animal and the woman was taken to hospital with a torn scalp and numerous bite wounds.
