ASPEN, Colo. -- Wildlife officers with the Colorado Division of Wildlife are searching for a bear involved in an attack Thursday night in Aspen.

A man living in the Meadowood Drive area off Castle Creek on the west side of Aspen was attacked in his home by a bear shortly after 8 p.m., according to DOW officials.

The victim was undergoing treatment for his injuries at Aspen Valley Hospital, which are not considered life-threatening.

According to a DOW release, the homeowner's three dogs began barking loudly in the first floor of the house. When the homeowner went downstairs to check on the dogs, he was confronted by a large, black bear. The man was struck by the bear but managed to open a window, allowing the bear get out of house.

Wildlife officers set a trap for the bear at the site and were patrolling the neighborhood. If captured, the bear will be euthanized for the attack.
