Young mum and baby mauled to death by polar bear outside school gates

A young mum and a baby were mauled to death by a polar bear outside a school. During the harrowing attack, a school teacher was force to shield pupils from the horror outside.

The awful event, which claimed the lives of Summer Myomick, 24, and her one-year-old, Clyde, happened in Alaska, US, on Tuesday, January 17. The mother stepped out into a blur of blowing snow with her son bundled up to protect him from the freezing winds whipping off the Bering Sea, the Mirror reports

Summer had visited relatives at the health clinic about 150 yards away from Kingikmiut School in the city of Wales. Alaska State Troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel says it appears the mother and toddler had no idea what was coming because of low visibility.
