A security guard at the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Aspen, Colorado, was attacked by a bear on October 25, 2023. The incident occurred in the kitchen of the resort. The guard, who was surprised by the bear, sustained injuries but is expected to recover. The bear was later euthanized by wildlife officials.

The guard was making his rounds in the early morning when he encountered the bear. The bear, which had somehow entered the kitchen, attacked the guard, causing injuries to his head and neck. The guard was able to escape and alert the authorities.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) officials were called to the scene. They found the bear still in the kitchen and made the decision to euthanize it. According to the CPW, the bear was a mature male, weighing approximately 400 pounds. The bear had been tagged previously, indicating it had prior conflicts with humans.

The St. Regis Aspen Resort has not commented on how the bear was able to enter the kitchen. The resort is located in an area where bear sightings are not uncommon, especially during the fall when bears are preparing for hibernation and are in search of food. The CPW has urged residents and businesses in the area to secure their trash and other food sources to discourage bears from coming into populated areas.
