Police in Connecticut are investigating the fatal shooting of a 450-pound, adult male black bear whose killer claims the act was done in self-defense.
Connecticut police were investigating the killing of a 450-pound, adult male black bear on Monday morning and claims by the shooter that it was done in self-defense. The bear was killed after 'reportedly feeding at an unsecured dumpster' in Canton, a community of about 10,000 people and about 13 miles northwest of Hartford, said Paul Copleman, a spokesperson for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
's Environmental and Conservation Police officers is conducting the investigation. The shooting comes a year after the General Assembly passed legislation that explicitly allows someone to use deadly force to kill a bear in Connecticut if they reasonably believe it’s inflicting or about to inflict great bodily harm to a person, a pet or is entering an occupied building.
There were more than 200 bear sightings last year in Canton. During a live news report on Monday evening by WFSB-TV about the shooting, another black bear showed to check out the same row of dumpsters before returning to the woods.
