Sheriff: Grizzly kills person near Glacier National Park

KALISPELL, Mont. –  A grizzly bear attacked and killed a 38-year-old mountain biker Wednesday as he was riding along a trail just outside Glacier National Park, Montana authorities said.

Brad Treat and another rider were in the Halfmoon Lakes area of the Flathead National Forest when they apparently surprised the bear, Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry said.

The bear knocked Treat off his bike, and the second rider left to look for help, Curry said.

Authorities found Treat's body at the scene, but not the bear. Wildlife and law-enforcement officials were searching for the grizzly Wednesday evening.

Yep. Federal fish and game LEO, and a good friend of my son. The second rider was Treat's son.
Prayers up for the family.
And I don't know if they got the bear yet... But it's dead, walking or not.
