Officials with the Pennsylvania Game Commission are now testing the DNA of a black bear found dead in one part of Luzerne County. The discovery was made about a mile from where a bear attacked two children in Wright Township earlier this week. The children's injuries were non life threatening. The bear, which is believed to have been struck by a vehicle, was found along the side of the road.
