Since early May, Downieville residents have flooded the Sierra County Sheriff's Office with daily calls about at least one bear forcing itself into people's homes.
Given the escalating danger posed by the bear's behavior and the imminent threat it presented to residents, deputies were left with no choice but to euthanize the bear in the interest of public safety.
Authorities intervened after the bear tried to break into a school's gymnasium, failed, and subsequently broke into a nearby home, prompting the decisive action of euthanization.
