Wildlife and emergency officials used a tarp to catch the sedated bear after it roamed into Camp Hill, prompting safety measures at a nearby school.

A young black bear was tranquilized and safely captured after wandering into a residential area in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
Officials used a ladder truck to approach the bear and administer the tranquilizer shot while it was in a tree.
The bear fell about 20 feet into a large tarp held by wildlife officials, police, and firefighters.
Nearby students and staff were instructed to stay indoors, and a section of road was closed during the operation.
The bear will likely be relocated to state land in central Pennsylvania.
