BILLINGS - After the bear attacks, word of injuries came into Yellowstone National Park's Dispatch Center in Mammoth Hot Springs.

Since there is no cell service at the campground, the victims were driven to Cooke City where family, friends and fellow campers made the initial 911 calls.

One caller said. "My daughter's boyfriend got bit by a bear. There's another lady that got bit by a bear."

The other said, "I'm in Cooke City. We had someone who got bit by a bear. He's bitten in the arm, definitely a broken arm. Deep lacerations."

Ambulances were dispatched to Cooke City where two victims were waiting in the parking lot of a hotel.
