Before the sun rose on Sunday morning, a mother bear and her two cubs walked through Eagle Point Campground in Lake Tahoe’s Emerald Bay, searching for food while campers slept. One woman woke up suddenly in her trailer: The mother bear was trying to get inside.

A light-colored female bear responsible for attacking a camper at Eagle Point Campground in Emerald Bay State Park on June 22 was euthanized, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

The CDFW and California State Parks described the bear as a "danger to public safety" in the south Lake Tahoe area.
