Minnesota Gray Wolf Attack from 2013. First of its kind in Minnesota, based on records from....

From back in 2013:

BEMIDJI, Minn. – It’s being called the first confirmed attack of a person by a gray wolf in Minnesota history, according to the Department of Natural Resources. Now, a 16-year-old Solway boy is home recovering from a vicious bite wound to the head.

It happened early Saturday morning at the West Winnie Campground on Lake Winnibigoshish in north central Minnesota. The campground is operated by the U.S. Forest Service and was temporarily closed following the wolf attack.

The gray wolf, also known as a timber wolf, was captured by trappers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The wolf was shot and killed to permit testing for rabies at the University of Minnesota veterinary diagnostic lab.

According to Col. Ken Soring, enforcement director for the DNR, Saturday’s attack was freakish and unprecedented.

“Our records do not reflect that we’ve had wolf attacks like this in Minnesota,” Col. Soring said.
