By CBS San Francisco Staff: HELENA Mont. (CBS SF/AP) — A nurse from Chico died on a long-distance bicycling trip in Montana, after a 400-pound grizzly bear pulled her from her tent in the middle of the night and killed her. Leah Davis Lokan was spending the night in the western town of Ovando when she was killed, early Tuesday. Witnesses told officials, the bear had visited the campsite earlier, around 3 a.m., that night, prompting Lokan and her fellow campers to get rid of the food inside their tents so as not to attract the animal.
