BELL COUNTY, Ky. (WATE) – A black bear burst through the ceiling of a Kentucky home on Wednesday, nearly falling on a woman’s head before landing in the kitchen, a family member reported.

A game warden with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife responded to the Bell County home early Wednesday morning, as noted in a Facebook post from the department’s law enforcement division.

“Upon arrival, the bear was located sitting on the stove in the kitchen,” the post read.

According to the department, the warden and a local sheriff worked together to guide the bear out of the house. Nexstar’s WATE interviewed the residents’ daughter, who mentioned that the family also played a role in getting the bear to leave.

“It almost fell on my mom when it came through the ceiling,” the daughter claimed. “They tried to open the kitchen door but the bear would come at them when they did so. My uncle managed to get the door open after about 2 hours and it finally left. The reason it stayed so long was because everyone was waiting on a guy with a tranquilizer but it left before he arrived.

“Everyone is OK, just shook up,” she added.

Officials later said the bear had climbed a ladder and entered into the home’s attic through an opening, after which it fell onto the floor below.
