A 12-year-old boy fatally shoots a black bear mauling his father during a hunt in western Wisconsin

A 12-year-old boy shot and killed a wounded black bear as it was mauling his father near their hunting cabin in the thick western Wisconsin woods.
Ryan Beierman, 43, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that he was pinned beneath the 200-pound bruin on Sept. 6 when his son, Owen, fired a shot from the boy’s hunting rifle.
“Owen was a hero. He shot that bear and killed it on top of me,” said Beierman.
