Bear breaks into Wisconsin home, attacks couple inside

A couple was injured when a bear broke into their home through a window, forcing them to kill the bear by first stabbing it, then shooting it, authorities say.

Authorities with the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office tell WQOW Channel 18 the attack occurred Friday night. The couple noticed the bear eating from a bird feeder in the backyard of their home and they opened a window and yelled at it in an attempt to scare it off.

The bear instead turned toward the home and charged through the window, WSAW Channel 7 reports. It got inside the home and began attacking the husband and wife, with their children asleep in their bedrooms in the house.

WAOW Channel 9 reports the couple tried to fight the bear off, first grabbing a kitchen knife and stabbing it. The husband managed to get a firearm and shot the bear, killing it. Both the husband and wife suffered multiple injuries, including bites, and were treated and released at a hospital. Their children were not injured.

Officials with the sheriff’s department tell WAOW the bear was a female and a cub was seen running off when the bear charged the house.
