A Pittsburgh mall was evacuated after a bear was spotted roaming through a Sears store, officials said.
The small female brown bear entered the mall around 9 p.m. Saturday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
Wildlife conservation officers were able to lure the bear toward the entrance doors, where she was trapped between the double doors and shot twice with a tranquilizer gun, officials said.
No one was hurt during the incident and the bear was taken away from the mall, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.
"It was probably more frightened than anything," said Dan Puhala, a wildlife conservation officer. "For the most part that bear wanted to get away from everybody."(UPI)

쇼핑몰에 곰 출현!
피츠버그의 한 쇼핑몰에서 곰이 출현해 사람들이 대피하는 소동이 빚어졌다.
현지 언론에 따르면 곰은 오후 9시 경 쇼핑몰에 들어온 것으로 보였다고 전했다.
야생동물보호관이 출동해 곰을 현관으로 유인했으며, 두 대의 마취제를 맞고 생포되었다.
현지 언론은 다행히 피해자가 발생하지 않았다고 전했다.
“아마 두려움에 가장 떨고 있었을 것은 곰이다.” 야생동물보호관 단 푸할라는 이같이 덧붙였다.
