He was a very, very, very aggressive animal. He would not back off of us. He chased us for probably two miles. At one point he was probably 10 or 12 foot away from us.
Allegedly, after the rescue squad found the little girl, one of the squad members fired a shot from a small caliber handgun. We don't know whether the bear was hit or not. There was no blood, but it chased it off.
