Bear sighting forces school closures in Japanese city

The Japanese city of Utsunomiya suspended all 94 of the primary and middle schools that it operates after its first-ever bear sighting, a municipal official said.

A surveillance camera in one of the city's major shopping streets captured footage of a bear running past two startled bystanders in the early hours of June 7.

It remains at large after the last sighting early Monday close to a middle school.
