Homeowner Shoots, Kills Bear

Cordillera homeowner shot and killed an “aggressive” bear Saturday after it had repeatedly broken into the person’s home, wildlife officials said.

The bear entered the home twice Saturday and was chased off by the homeowner both times, said Randy Hampton, of the Colorado Division of Wildlife. When it returned a third time, the homeowner shot and killed it, Hampton said.

“We’ve determined it was a justified situation,” Hampton said. “If a homeowner is defending themselves and they feel threatened, they have every right to shoot and aggressive animal, bear or otherwise.”-[source]
