What was hilarious was that the bear was deemed to be acting "aggressively.". You mean it was being a bear? Imagine wild animals being just that. The disconnect is astounding. Remember Harambe.
And they also just killed some bear. They don't actually know if it's the killer bear, and to the public, it doesn't matter.

They do know it was the killer bear because it was obviously tagged ... which was how authorities were notified by GPS that there was an attack happening.
Bear wasn't tagged - GPS SOS signal is likely how they were alerted. That being said, if they found an aggressive bear in the area, I'd be inclined to trust them. There isn't really anything to gain by lying, especially if it leads to another hiker death from the actual bear.
