Grizzly bear (Credit: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) ISLAND PARK, Idaho - Wildlife officials in Idaho said they had to euthanize a sow grizzly and a yearling male after they became conditioned to eating food usually consumed by humans.

Idaho Fish and Game said the pair frequently visited residential neighborhoods where they often found food on porches, unsecured garbage cans and vehicles.

They then became habituated to looking for human food sources. The sow and yearling were captured and relocated in 2020 following multiple "food-related conflicts." However, wildlife officials said their behaviors continued in 2021 and in 2022, resulting in more food-related conflicts. "Due to the pair’s dependence on human food and habituation to residential areas, they were captured and euthanized in the interest of human safety on May 21," officials said in a news release. RELATED: 'Hank the Tank,' Lake Tahoe bear, gets exonerated for many home break-insWildlife officials said bears can quickly learn to associate people with food which can lead to human-bear conflicts.

PHILADELPHIA - A DoorDash delivery driver has been charged for shooting a teenage employee at a Chick-fil-A in Crescentville. A spokesperson from the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said Tyquan Austin, 26, has been charged with aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault and reckless endangerment. Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument over a milkshake at the fast food restaurant located at 811 Adams Avenue in Crescentville on Monday night. Austin, a food delivery driver for DoorDash, said the order he was picking up was missing a second milkshake. When the server asked to see a receipt to verify the order, Austin pulled out a gun and put it in his lap, according to police. The server recruited his tam leader who asked for the order back and then a manager came out before Austin drove away, authorities say. RELATED HEADLINESPolice say Austin then circled back and fired a single shot at the entrance striking the 17-year-old employee. According to authorities, other people were in the range of gunfire. "The shooting was unprovoked and endangered multiple people beyond the shooting victim, who was wounded in the leg and is expected to recover," the DA's Office said. The DA's Office also says the incident was captured on video and images of Austin helped police identify and locate him. Officers found Austin's car abandoned in an alley with no one inside before a man approached saying he was not the driver, but his belongings were inside, per officials. According to police, he was then taken into custody after police recognized a tattoo on his neck. The victim, who has been released from the hospital, identified Austin as the man who shot him, according to authorities. Police say
