Talk about your bad luck, from Denver’s CBS 4 News:

_A hunter attacked by a grizzly bear in southern Montana also had the misfortune of being shot in the arm by a companion trying to stop the attack. . . .
_

_Park County Sheriff Allan Lutes says his office looked into the shooting of the hunter and found no negligence. . . .
_

_Lutes says the hunters thought they were tracking a black bear near Cooke City.
They entered a grove of very dense, second-generation pine six to eight feet in height when their quarry, which actually was a grizzly, jumped one of the hunters.
_

_”He was yelling at his partner to shoot the bear,” Lutes said.
_

The first shot struck the hunter in the arm. Subsequent shots hit and killed the grizzly, which Lutes said was estimated to be 20-25 years old.
