A Medford couple fought and killed a 120-pound adult female black bear that broke into their home on Friday night, injuring both of them.
The attack was reported at 11:11 p.m. Friday on Castle Road in the town of Medford, according to the Taylor County Sheriff's Office.
When deputies and emergency services got to the home, they found the injured homeowners and their children, who had been asleep at the time of the attack and were unharmed, the sheriff's office said.
The husband and wife told first responders they noticed the bear outside eating from a bird feeder. Through an open window, they yelled at the bear to go away. The bear turned and charged at the house, breaking in through the window and attacking the couple, the sheriff's office said.
