Eleven people injured in grizzly bear attack

Eleven people were injured in a grizzly bear attack in the remote coastal town of Bella Coola in British Columbia, Canada yesterday. The attack involved students (4th and 5th graders), and has left two people critically injured and two others seriously hurt. British Columbia's Conservation Officer Service said the bear attacked a group of school students as they and teachers were having lunch on a trail near town. According to Inspector Kevin Van Damme from the Conservation Officer Service, three children and one adult were among the most seriously injured in the attack. Here's a fairly detailed report from the CBC earlier today:



I can't confirm this (I haven't found anything to dispute it), but this might be the most people attacked by one grizzly bear in one incident.
