Today a search is underway for a black bear that attacked a family of three from Ohio last night in the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee. A 6-year-old girl was killed in the attack. Witnesses said the bear picked up a 2-year-old boy in its mouth while the mother and other visitors tried to fend it off with sticks and rocks. The 6-year-old girl ran away during that attack, but was found dead a short time later with the bear nearby. A park ranger fired at least one shot at the bear and scared it away. The woman and her son were flown by helicopter to a Chattanooga Hospital. Wildlife experts say a bear attack is very rare.
