Wyoming Hero: College Wrestler Jumps On Grizzly To Save Friend | Cowboy State Daily

Cummings and his wrestling teammate at Northwest College in Powell, Brady Lowry, were attacked by a grizzly bear Saturday afternoon outside Cody. The two survived but suffered serious injuries from the angry bruin.

The bear first attacked Lowry, but Cummings, an Evanston native, jumped into action to pull him off.

“I grabbed and yanked him hard by the ear,” said Cummings, a sophomore.

Cummings successfully got the bear’s attention. Backing up as the predator reared up toward him, he described the sensation of the bear’s putrid breath filling his nostrils and himself with a sense of dread.

Attacked Again

The bear charged at Cummings with surprising speed, immediately knocking him to the ground. After a short while in the grip of jaws, the bear left him. Cummings’ thoughts were not on his own injuries, but rather that the bear would attack Lowry again. It was when he stood up to look for his teammate that the bear attacked again.

“I called out to Brady to make sure he was alright and I think the bear heard me,” Cummings said. “It kind of circled around and got me again.”

Cummings said he fought back against the bear at first, but it quickly became apparent it would be a fruitless endeavor.

The bear eventually stopped its attack, and Cummings lay still for a few minutes after, hoping to avoid a third encounter.

A nice touch at the end: "no fundraisers have been set up". They and their families aren't trying to grift this in hopes of a sympathy payday.

They're going to recover and whatever their insurance doesn't cover Northwest College almost certainly will.

Target of Kalispell manhunt faces multiple felony charges in district court
Kyle Kenneth Smith, 32, who is in custody with bail set at $300,000, is accused of knocking on the door of a Sixth Avenue East North home on Oct. 17 and pepper spraying the woman answering the door. Prosecutors say that Smith then forced his way into the house, where he was shot by one of several people inside.

Smith fled the scene after suffering the gunshot wound, court documents said, and multiple people in the area called local law enforcement to report seeing a man bleeding from the waist down. Officers responded to the neighborhood about 8:06 p.m., according to court documents.
