Police shoot black bear near A&W
A large male black bear wandered into Prince Albert on Saturday evening, coming very close to the A&W at Highway 3 and Marquis Avenue.
A witness, Gloria Smith, said police responded to the scene and tried to scare the bear back into the bush.
“We saw the bear come out of the bush and then all the cops started to move towards the bear in their cars and they were honking their horns and doing their sirens and stuff,” she said.
The bear then ran back into the bush, she said, but quickly came back out just before an officer killed the bear with a shotgun.
