(West Salem, OR) -- Wildlife officials are warning residents after a woman was bitten by a coyote in West Salem earlier this month. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says the woman was walking on Orchard Heights Road when she was bitten. She was checked by medics and released. Residents are being warned to monitor children and pets outside. If a coyote is seen, it should be scared away with loud noises. Residents shouldn't leave food out that would attract coyotes. ODF-and-W is working with law enforcement and federal agencies to determine what should be done.
