Encounter with bear at East Mountains home [View all]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) - An East Mountains' family got quite the surprise while eating breakfast.

Anne Marie says she looked out her window Monday and saw a young bear standing up against her front door pawing at the handle. She says the bear wandered around their back porch. All the while, she and her three little boys were inside.

"I think my legs were shaking a little bit and I was just like, grab the children and hide," Anne Marie said. Anne Marie says the bear was just as aggressive at several other houses in the neighborhood.

The Forest Service says it can't risk moving the bear because they're worried it may try and find its way back to the neighborhood and get hit by a car.
