The bear that attacked and injured a woman in her back yard in Medford, Oregon, on Sept. 5 has been killed.

Per state policy, a bear that is a threat to human life is not eligible for relocation, police said. The state agencies collected the bear and confirmed it was the bear from the prior night’s attack, according to police.

The bear rushed a woman in her yard Monday, causing injuries to her arm and leg. The woman’s dog was also attacked, but the woman and dog chased away the bear, police said.
