DBAHO Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 AN adult black bear was shot and killed after it wandered into a US hospital, authorities said. The 135kg bear was first spotted walking along a street last night in Rocky Mount, Virginia, authorities said. When the bear wandered in front of the nearby Carilion Franklin Memorial Hospital, it activated a sensor that opens the hospital's doors. The bear walked into a computer room and two police officers shut the door behind the animal, said Lieutenant Karl Martin of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Officers planned to sedate the bear, but they were worried what might happen if the bear got loose in the hospital. So an officer shot and killed the bear. No one was injured. The computer room sustained minor damage, Martin said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 What a weird story. Mabey hospitals should consider banning active censor doors, or mabey they should just have a guard on the look out for bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
