Bear on lam after raiding kitchen and attacking guard at Aspen resort

A bear, prowling for pre-hibernation snacks, raided the kitchen of a luxury Colorado resort and injured a responding security guard, authorities said Tuesday.

The late-night food run unfolded around 11 p.m. Monday at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen when the guard surprised the four-legged intruder in the kitchen, according to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) statement.
