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.
