Okay, I meant this as a break from all the dour political news of late, but then realized that it is a story about a guy being killed, so perhaps this doesn't exactly qualify as lighter news. From CNN:
A bear on ice skates attacked two people during rehearsals at a circus in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, killing one of them, Kyrgyz officials said Friday.
In the incident, which happened Thursday, the 5-year-old animal killed the circus administrator, Dmitry Potapov, and mauled an animal trainer, who was attempting to rescue him.
