![]() “I deal with bears a lot and I’d say this was a big bear,” said Justin Pollock, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer of 21 years. Officials believe the bear pushed down the lever of an unlocked front door to get inside. The bear was pronounced dead after police and wildlife officers who patrol the rocky mountain town of Steamboat Springs arrived. Mauldin quickly called 911 and then one of his three sons, who were all home at the time, called him on his cellphone from inside his bedroom to find what happened. The bear laid breathing but wasn’t able to get back up. “It backed up and changed directions, busting through our banister railing and landing on the stairs, and then it slid down and wound up in a pile at the bottom of the stairs.” I shot it and then it charged me, and I kept shooting at it,” he told KUSA-TV. ![]() Man who crashed into bear while biking in Canada ‘glad to be alive’ ![]() Oregon man shoots bear twice for attacking chickens - but the same bear returns to attack him Large bear lumbers into Connecticut bakery, feasts on 60 cupcakes Police to residents: ‘Please do not wrestle’ bear spotted in Missouri town So Mauldin fired away as the bear got as close as five feet away before it turned toward the stairs leading to the front door.
