A Kansas woman, identified as Amie Adamson, was attacked and killed by a grizzly bear while jogging on a trail near Yellowstone National Park. The victim's body was found a few hundred yards from a trailhead and private campground. Authorities believe it was a chance encounter with the bear, which was traveling with at least one cub. The victim did not have bear spray, a recommended deterrent in bear-populated areas.

Grizzly bear populations have been increasing in the region, and encounters with humans, although rare, can be deadly for both bears and humans.
