A grizzly bear that pulled a woman from her tent and killed her in Montana has been shot dead by wildlife officials using night-vision goggles to stake out a chicken coop where they had set a trap.

Federal wildlife workers shot the bear shortly after midnight on Friday when it approached the trap about two miles from Ovando, where 65-year-old Leah Davis Lokan, of Chico, California, had been killed on Tuesday, said Greg Lemon of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
