So my brother let him in really quick and we slammed the door shut because we didn't know if the bear was going to follow. The 911 operator told us to go out of the house and get in our car and wait at the bottom of our driveway for the sheriff to come. So we did that and the sheriff came and kind of poking around asking us questions, visibly shaking.

And he's like, I would rather deal with any armed criminal than a bear. They're my biggest fear.

the only one at that time too. So he went up and quickly got to action. And so we heard another couple rounds go off and then more sheriff showed up. So he had backup finally. But what happened is he went in the house and the bear was at the back of that side room, clawing at a window, clearly trying to get out. It turned around, started to charge him. He shot it.

And again, I don't know how much you know about bears, but they have really thick skulls. And so it is extremely hard to shoot a bear in the head.

Or you, luck out enough to go through the ribs or something like that but if it's charging you you don't have that shot oh he actually shot the bear five times and it did nothing but piss it off and it continued to charge at it the next sheriff came and had a bigger gun and it took actually three more rounds from that gun to put this bear down wow so a bear was killed in your living room

The way that he was charging, he technically died outside. The way he would have wanted it. Yes, exactly. Back into the wild.

He definitely got vengeance on us, though, because he smeared his body over every surface that was in our house. So they brought us back up. They showed us the bear. He was like a two-year-old, only 120-pound bear. He had somehow learned that if you push on the side of a door threshold, you can kind of warp it enough. And that just swung the door wide open. Oh, my goodness. He was brilliant.

No kidding. So that's how he got in without us hearing a big bang. One of the rounds that they shot at him, hit him in the forehead and ricocheted off and went through one of our windows and smashed our windows. We went in the house and it was like a massacre. There was blood everywhere. And my dad was dealing with the sheriff, going over everything.
