A man and his dog were injured Monday during an early morning incident involving a bear outside their home near Duluth. ## Bear in St. Louis County Andrew Tri with the Minnesota Bear Project says the incident happened around 4:30 a.m. in Solway Township, which is just west of Duluth and a few miles north of Cloquet and Esko. Tri says the resident had just let his dogs out for the morning when the bear attacked one of the dogs and pinned it to the ground. The man ran up to the bear and kicked it to free the dog and was bitten by the bear. The bear then ran away into the woods. Neither the man nor the dog suffered serious injuries during the altercation, officials said. Officials say the man declined medical treatment. Tri says the bear's behavior appears to have been defensive. He adds the bear may have been attracted to the property by bird feeders and may have been startled when the dogs were let outside. The DNR recommends anyone who lives around bears to remove potential food sources, like bird feeders. Before letting your dogs out, it's also a good idea to flip on a light and make some noise.

Health officials in Wisconsin have confirmed 10 new cases of measles in Chippewa County, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the state to 243 as of Oct. 2. ## Confirmed measles cases in Chippewa County continuing to grow Wisconsin health officials shared that the number of confirmed measles cases has grown from just one case in Chippewa County on Sept. 29 to 10 cases as of Oct. 2. Similarly, confirmed cases in Marathon County have grown from three cases to five. Officials state that none of the cases in either Chippewa or Marathon County are related to the current measles outbreak occurring in Grant, Iowa, Lafayette, and Vernon Counties - which have now grown to 220 total confirmed cases. Instead, the Chippewa and Marathon County measles cases are being attributed to out of state travel, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. ## Measles symptoms Anyone who was exposed to measles would expect symptoms to start 10 to 21 days after exposure. Symptoms include: - Runny nose - High fever (may be greater than 104°F) - Tiredness - Cough - Red, watery eyes, or conjunctivitis ("pink eye") - A red rash with raised bumps that starts at the hairline and moves to the arms and legs three to five days after symptoms begin. ## Who is at risk? Wisconsin health officials say that those who are most at risk are those who are not vaccinated or don't know their vaccination status. Unvaccinated young children and other non-immune adults are at highest risk of serious disease from measles. If you believe you have been exposed to measles and are not immune, remain at home and monitor for symptoms. Officials urge all people to check their vaccination status, as vaccination against measles is the best way to prevent measles illness.

The mayor of Eden Prairie, Minnesota is asking for help after a recent uptick in gun violence in the city. ## 4 in custody after gas station shooting Four people were detained after shots were fired at a gas station on the corner of West 78th Street and Eden Prairie Road, according to the Eden Prairie Police Department. The shooting occurred around 8:45 p.m. Monday. No one was hurt. ## Eden Prairie HS homecoming shooting Monday's shooting took place not far from Eden Prairie High School, where a shooting outside the homecoming football game Friday night left two teenagers injured and prompted officials to evacuate the stadium. The incident started with a fight on the stadium grounds that police broke up. Minutes later, shots were fired in the parking lot. Investigators believe the shooting involved local Somali gangs. The homecoming game against Minnetonka was canceled. The two teams finished the game on Monday night. ## Mayor calls for regional task force In a new statement, Eden Prairie Mayor Ron Case is calling for the creation of a regional task force to address gang activity. The mayor wants to bring together state, county and local law enforcement along with prosecutors, schools, social services, youth-service organizations and Somali community leaders. He says the group's work should not only hold violent offenders accountable but also develop strategies to prevent young people from becoming involved in gangs in the first place. The mayor also echoed the Eden Prairie Schools superintendent in condemning hateful rhetoric against the Somali community. "Gang violence must be confronted, but the actions of those involved should not define the broader Somali community," Case said in a statement. "I stand with the Somali Americans who call Eden Prairie home — our neighbors, business owners, parents, students, coworkers and friends — and I know many are deeply concerned about this violence and determined to be part of the solution."
