Two hunters who were reportedly charged by a grizzly bear on Monday north of West Yellowstone shot and killed the bear and also shot and injured one of her cubs, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said on Friday.

The incident happened in Tepee Creek; the two hunters were not injured, spokesperson Morgan Jacobsen said. They reported being charged by the sow, who had two yearling cubs along with her.

FWP said the hunters shot and killed the sow with handguns and that the yearlings also charged the two people. One of them was shot and injured, Jacobsen said.
