A 400-pound grizzly bear that pulled a camper out of her tent in a fatal attack has been shot dead following a three day hunt.<\/p>\n

Leah Lokan, 65, was camping in Montana on Tuesday when she was pulled out of her tent by the male bear which then mauled her to death.<\/p>\n

Officials immediately began searching for the bear and eventually found it at a chicken coop on Friday, where they gunned it down.<\/p>\n

Prior to Tuesday's attack, the bear had been seen roaming the town of Ovando, where Leah had been camping. <\/p>\n

It initially woke some campers but then ran away before returning to the area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said at around 3.30am the bear pulled Leah out of her tent and began mauling her to death.<\/p>\n

The two people in the tent adjacent to the victim were woken by sounds of the attack and sprayed it with bear spray until it left.<\/p>\n

At some point during the night the bear also got into a chicken coop in the town, killing and eating several chickens.<\/p>\n

A search for the bear was immediately launched, and the local sheriff said: "Traps have been set in the area and searching will continue by ground and in the air with the priority of keeping the public safe from another encounter."<\/p>\n

The search was unsuccessful until early on Friday morning when multiple bear sightings were reported, less than two miles from the site of Leah's death.<\/p>\n

A resident had come home to find her door ripped off, which was found with large claw marks across it.<\/p>\n

Armed officials with night vision technology shot the male grizzly bear dead in the area.<\/p>\n

DNA samples from the bear were sent to a testing facility to be compared with those found at the scene of the attack.<\/p>\n

Early indications are that this is likely the bear that killed the camper.<\/p>\n

Grizzly bears are common in the Blackfoot Valley where Ovando is located, but fatal attacks are rare.<\/p>\n

The US Fish and Wildlife Service said including Tuesday's attack, there have only been three in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n
