Correction:
During the stories this week about the black bear in the east end of the city, some wrong information went out. There was a tweet that stated the bear was captured and released. Actually, the attempt to tranquilize the bear was unsuccessful and visual contact was lost after the animal entered a wooded area. We apologize for the incorrect information and the tweet has been removed.
