IN ALASKA POST OFFICE

Alaska: A 300-pound black bear was killed after it wandered into an Anchorage post office. Anchorage television station KTVA reports the bear got inside the building on Sunday after walking through an open door near the loading dock. The facility was closed, but US Postal service spokeswoman Dawn Peppinger says about 75 employees were sorting mail when the bear got inside the post office near the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The bear was killed when officers’ efforts to get the animal back outside failed.
