“And like when we first came down here, you know, lights were off. It was quiet, and I was just sleeping. And so while I was waiting, I just sat here for like a good 20 minutes just watching it. It was just very surreal,” Kristen Nedbalek of Falcon, Colorado said.
Wildlife officials arrived and tranquilized the bear.
They were able to safely remove it from the house and release it about three hours away in a habitat more suitable for bears.
