BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (KCNC-TV) — A moose that trampled a woman in her yard in Breckenridge has been euthanized after showing aggression.

KCNC-TV reports the woman suffered broken bones in the attack. Wildlife officials say two bull moose spent most of the day in a yard on Saturday.

That evening, the woman tried to “guide the moose away” so other people could leave the area.

A young bull moose turned on the woman and trampled her.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are still investigating and it's not clear if the woman would be cited for approaching the animal.
