A Juneau man shot and injured a bear who he says had entered his residence.

Local olice haven't identified him.

They say the man shot the bear in the face with a .45 semiautomatic handgun.

Officers have been unable to locate the injured bear.

Sergeant Chris Burke says the man reported being woken up by a noise in his residence.

The man told authorities that when he got out of bed the bear was about four feet into the home.

The bear turned and ran back toward the porch.

When the man yelled at the bear to encourage it to leave, the bear turned around and lunged and that's when the man shot it.

Sergeant Burke says officers tracked a blood trail for the bear, but haven't found it.

Whatever happened to hospitality ???

So this wounded bear is still roaming around the trailer park and fish and game says they are not going to look for it or set a trap for it. The cops found 2 other bears in the area during the surch for wounded bear. In other bear news from the Alaska
Bear mauling victim in critical condition
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A Utah woman is in critical condition after being mauled by a grizzly bear Wednesday night.

Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen says 21-year-old Abby Sisk of Ogden, Utah, was under going surgery today (Thursday). Her mother is en route to Anchorage from Utah this afternoon.

Ipsen says Sisk "suffered some pretty major lacerations to her face and head."

The attack happened late at night as Sisk, a seasonal employee of the Kenai Princess Lodge in Cooper Landing, was returning to the lodge after a hike.

She was about 25 yards from the lodge on a gravel path when the bear came out of the bushes and attacked her.

It's not known what provoked the attack.

Sisk is a housekeeper at the lodge, starting her summer job in May.

Kenai Princess Lodge General Manager Dan Michels (MIKE-els) says she's been having a good time, and is a great employee.

Lodge staff called all guests after the 11 p.m. attack, urging them to stay inside and to use shuttles from their rooms spread out on the 46-acre site to the main lodge.

I'm at a loss as to where I'm spending my next vacation. It was a toss-up between Vegas and the Zimbabwean border town of Chirundu, which apparently is largely populated by man-eating lions, bull elephants, and prostitutes.

Well, Vegas will be around for a while, and I doubt the Zimbabwe authorities will clean up Chirundu anytime in the near future.

But right now I think I need to go to a part of the world where there are 21 year old chicks who can get mauled by a bear and still manage to eke out a good time.

Some of the girls I've been seeing lately don't even make it through the second date.
