PARAMUS, N.J. -- Several people in New Jersey were surprised to see a very lost bear walking through their neighborhood.

The bear wandered into the borough of Paramus and around some homes.

At least one school canceled all outdoor activities as police worked to track and trap the bear.

The bear was eventually found and shot with tranquilizer darts.
