Fatal Black Bear Attack in Arizona Stuns Officials and Community

A 66-year-old Tucson man was mauled to death in an unprovoked attack by a black bear while drinking coffee outside his home near Prescott, Arizona.
Neighbors attempted to distract the bear but were unsuccessful, and a neighbor ultimately shot and killed the bear.
The attack was deemed highly unusual and predatory in nature by officials.
Officials have warned campers and residents to take precautions around bears and not shoot them unless they pose an immediate threat.
The incident marks the first fatal black bear attack in Arizona since 2011.
