PITTSBURGH — Officials said a second bear has been spotted at a suburban Pittsburgh mall where another bear was captured after getting stuck inside a department store.
The latest bear first emerged near an Olive Garden restaurant at the Pittsburgh Mills mall in Frazer around 11:45 p.m. Saturday- less than two hours after officials tranquilized a smaller bear that had gotten inside a Sears store.
Officials said the second bear was not captured and then reappeared around 7:45 p.m. Sunday, backing up traffic on a nearby highway.
Officials said the first bear walked into Sears around 9 p.m. Saturday and growled at customers. It was eventually tranquilized and taken away.
