PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) -
A Pittsburgh-area mall had to be evacuated after a bear entered a store.
Authorities say the bear walked across a parking lot, through doors and into the Sears store at about 9 p.m. Saturday night. They say they have no idea what attracted the bear into the building.
Local media reported that the bear walked around the store and growled at customers, then became stuck between double doors.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission tranquilized the bear and removed it from Pittsburgh Mills Mall, which is about 15 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. No injuries were reported.
Authorities say the bear appeared to be around one and a half years old and had a tracking collar on.
