Wildlife officials captured a mother grizzly and two of her three cubs after one person was killed and two others were injured when at least one bear went on a late-night rampage through a campground near Yellowstone National Park earlier this week.

48-year-old Kevin Kammer of Grand Rapids, Michigan was killed in the attack while two others, Deb Freele and Ronald Singer of Alamosa, Colorado were taken to the hospital,

The recording of the 911 call made after Wednesday morning's deadly attack has been released and show that everyone being remarkably calm in light of what had just happened.

911 Operator 2: "9-1-1 emergency, what is the location of your emergency?"

Caller 2: "My daughter's boyfriend got bit by a bear, just a little bit ago. There's another lady down there, screaming. I don't know if she got bit or not."

911 Operator 2: "And it was a bear?"

Caller 2: "And it was a bear. We're sitting right in front of Super 8 right now."

911Operator 2: "OK, you can just stay at the Super 8 and if we need to get a hold of you we can get a hold of you there."

Caller 2: "OK what do I do with the guy that's bit in my car?"

911 Operator 2: "You can just hang out there. We're gonna page out an ambulance to come and check him out. And then we're gonna get rangers on the scene to take out this bear. If anything else worse happens give me a call right back."

Wildlife officials are now testing the DNA of the captured grizzly to determine if it's responsible for the attack.

This is not the first bear attack to hit the Soda Butte Campground. The last incident was about two years ago.

"What I got attacked by was a 350 pound female bear at 3 a.m. and I can't think of anything more scary in my life," commented 2008 attack victim Steven Bartley.

A bear mauled the Springfield, Oregon man, crushing several bones in his hand as he struggled to fight it off. Surgeons used stitches and pins just to hold his right thumb in place.

"I wouldn't sleep in a tent in bear country for anything," Barley explained.

Statistics show that since 1900, grizzlies or black bears have killed 108 people and on average, bears hurt about 35 people each year in the United States.
