B: Whoa, that's intense! So, what happened in Morioka City?

A: A bear was spotted near a river, and they've been having bear sightings in residential areas too. Some police officers had an encounter with it last month.

B: Oh man, I hope they handle that carefully. I don't want any accidents!

A: They're getting help from local hunters, learning about the bears' behavior, and how to avoid ricochets since there are stone barriers along the river.

B: That sounds like a good plan. They'll have a training session tomorrow in Takizawa City to learn more about bears in the woods.

A: Yup! And the police will be working with local hunters too. It's gonna be quite an operation! Let's hope it goes smoothly.
