A Snoqualmie man is under investigation for killing a bear that got a little too close for comfort.
Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist says the man called 911 to let police know he had shot and killed the animal.
According to Almquist the bear had gotten into trash on the side of the man’s house.
It’s the second time police are aware of that he shot at a bear, but this is the first time he actually killed one.
Almquist says it’s illegal both to fire a gun within city limits and to shoot a bear without a permit. Authorities are unsure what charges the man might face.
