Bear shot in Parksville by grandpa

The Times Herald-Record reports that when a bear tried to crawl into a Parksville house on Sunday, the woman inside made three calls: to the state police, to the Department of Environmental Conservation, and to her grandfather. Unluckily for the bear, grandpa arrived first.

The grandfather fired a warning shot, said Steingart, but the bear didn't stand down, so he shot it.

The Daily Freeman offered some bear avoidance advice on Sunday.
