Police say in a news release they were called Friday to help the Environment and Natural Resources officer track the bear within the town's boundary.
They say the ENR officer shot his gun "in response to the bear's aggressive behavior," and that shortly after, a man reported he'd been injured as a result of the shot.The bear, meanwhile, was located and destroyed. Police did not specify in the release if the man was near the bear when he was injured by the gun, and neither police nor the Environment and Natural Resources department could be reached for comment on Saturday.
You’re supposed to shoot the bear not the man..
Who wrote this mess?
Gay bashing?
The right to bear arms? Without thumbs?
Umm, no, FakeNewsMedia . The man was shot after a WILDLIFE OFFICER took a shot.
NWT 💰🇨🇦🕳
Sounds like alcohol was involved.
The RCMP when they see a bear: The bear has been terminated with an insignificant level of collateral damage.
So who was the aggressor
I read the headline, and I think we need to restrict bears with anger issues from owning guns. I think it's just common sense.
Bears with guns Trudeau will stop that
You do not have to use the word 'DESTROYED' in the context of a wild animal dying!
An aggressive bear so they shot a man? We need to improve rcmp hiring practices
Nice gay slur.
How did a bear get a gun?
We need to get guns out of the hands of poorly trained government employees
“RCMP in the Northwest Territories say a man in Fort Simpson was injured when a wildlife officer fired his weapon in response to an aggressive bear.” Shouldn’t the headline be “Man shot as wildlife officer deals with aggressive bear” then? 🤔
RCMP : ' We shot a bear ' Gun shot victim : Just because I'm big,burly and gay ,it doesnt make me a 'bear'' 😉
