COLORADO SPRINGS — A black bear and its two cubs were tranquilized and will be euthanized after the younger animals went into a Broadmoor-area home in search of food today, a state wildlife official said.

Michael Seraphin, spokesman for the Colorado Division of Wildlife, said the cubs were coaxed out of the Sanford Road home and all three animals climbed a tree. They were shot with a tranquilizer and taken away in a trailer.

The bears will be killed, a DOW official said.

Colorado Springs police received a 911 call from the homeowner at 11:18 a.m. after a cleaning woman was surprised by a bear cub while she was working in the kitchen.

Denise Burks said she was finishing up in the kitchen when she heard a noise and saw a bear cub entering the kitchen.
