Juneau man shoots bear who enters home
A Juneau man shot and injured a bear who he says had entered his residence.
Local olice haven't identified him.
They say the man shot the bear in the face with a .45 semiautomatic handgun.
Officers have been unable to locate the injured bear.
Sergeant Chris Burke says the man reported being woken up by a noise in his residence.
The man told authorities that when he got out of bed the bear was about four feet into the home.
The bear turned and ran back toward the porch.
When the man yelled at the bear to encourage it to leave, the bear turned around and lunged and that's when the man shot it.
Sergeant Burke says officers tracked a blood trail for the bear, but haven't found it.
