A grizzly bear is on the loose after attacking a school group in Canada, leaving 11 people injured, two critically.
The incident happened on Thursday afternoon on a walking trail in the town of Bella Coola, in the province of British Columbia.
Residents have been warned to remain indoors while armed officers try to track down the animal.
A male teacher "got the whole brunt of it" and some children were hit with bear spray as the adults tried to fend off the animal, Veronica Schooner, a parent, told the Canadian Press.
Ms Schooner said her 10-year-old son was part of the school group, though he was not attacked.
