A bear attack in one part of Luzerne County sent two children to the hospital with minor injuries. The children ages 5 and 14 were bitten and scratched while they played in their driveway in the Walden Park neighborhood Wright Township near Mountain Top on Monday. The PA Game Commission has set up two traps in the area to try and catch the bear. The children are expected to be ok.
