Colorado man empties gun on 400-pound bear that broke into home

A startled Colorado homeowner emptied his pistol on a 400-pound bear that broke into his family’s home in a frightening encounter that resulted in the animal’s death.

After being woken up at about 2 a.m. Saturday, Ken Mauldin fired his 40-caliber pistol at the massive creature after it came within five feet of the father of three.

“When I got out of bed, (my wife) Kelly started screaming, ‘There’s a bear in the house,’” he told KUSA-TV. “So, I grabbed a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun.”

Kelly Mauldin was originally awoken from her slumber after the family’s dogs began barking. She was standing at the couple’s bedroom door with the male black bear about ten feet away from her in the dining room before her husband took her place.
