A bear that wandered into Williams Village dorm at the University of Colorado in Boulder falls from a tree after being tranquilized by Colorado wildlife officials.
University of Colorado police spokesman Ryan Huff said the bear was likely 1-3 years old and weighed somewhere between 150-200 pounds.
Updated, 9:24 pm ET: After learning that questions were being raised about the distribution of this image, msnbc.com licensed the image directly from photographer Andy Duann. Previously, the photograph had been credited to the CU Independent via AP.
Updated, 12:18 pm ET, May 4: The bear was hit by two cars on May 3 and died.

Awwwww, poor bear.
When I saw the photo it didn't have the option to download it so I got the top and the bottom in screen caps.
I called the top half "Bear-Up". I called the bottom half, "Bear-down". When I stitched them together and saved it I called it "Bear-all".
(Ducks and runs)
Where do I get some of that? My neighbors cat gets stuck there all the time...
I was glad to see the safety mattress pad at the bottom. I've seen others where they just let the poor thing fall. He is really all sprawled out, so I'm glad he wasn't going to hit that cement curb.
Please...this bear was in Boulder, CO. I'm surprised they didn't have a ladder truck there to climb up and carry it down!
Hey . Booboo! This is unbearably funny picture...glad the bear wasn't hurt. I like bears. Fascinating creatures.
Is the animal called a bear because it doesn't have any clothes on?
Hey, hey, hey Mr. Ranger, Sir!
Why did you shoot that fluffy sharp thing into my leg? I wasn't going to steal a pic-a-nic basket, I was just...... ooooohhhhhhh! Look at the pretty rainbows~~~~
