A Bear Is On The Loose In The San Gabriel Valley And There's Live Video
As of 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, a bear was on the loose in the Bradbury area of the San Gabriel Valley. The bear, who is being shown on a live video feed, has already squared off with a dog and chased a deer, according to City News Service. The bear, who we will now refer to as James Comey Jr. because it's America and we do what we want, also swam in a pool and snacked on fruit, according to NBC 4.
KCRA reports that officials have been notified of the presence of James Comey Jr.
We can only hope that JCJ's day ends better than that of his namesake. Alternately, if you would like to watch live coverage of James Comey Sr.'s motorcade en route to LAX, you can do so here.
In the meantime, here's a nice shot of JCJ on someone's stairs, courtesy of NBC 4:
Update: As of 6:50 p.m. Tuesday evening, the live bear-cam has ceased streaming. We reached out to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
