A 74-year-old Colorado man was injured in his home by a black bear after the animal and its three cubs opened a partially cracked sliding glass door, authorities said.
The attack Thursday in Lake City was the first bear attack in the state this year, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The man who was injured responded by grabbing a chair and trying to direct the bear out the door, officials said.
The sow and her cubs were euthanized after confirmation of their involvement in the attack, officials said.
Last year, six bear attacks were reported across Colorado, according to Parks and Wildlife.
