Bear critically injures Denver teen in Alaska backcountry - The Denver Post:
"The teenagers decided to cross a river single-file, with Gottsegen and 17-year-old Joshua Berg, of New York City, leading the line, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Gottsegen and Berg began screaming that they saw a bear, officials said. The animal, with a cub nearby, attacked four students."
This looks like a case of a mother bear defending her cubs against accidental encroachment.
