Man probed for killing bear

(ANSA) - L'Aquila, September 19 - A man recently wounded by a bear has been placed under investigation for shooting dead a bear in Abruzzo last Friday, judicial sources said. The man, identified only as A.C., 57, may face charges of killing a member of a protected species, they said. An autopsy Thursday showed the rare Marsican brown bear was shot and not poisoned, as earlier thought.
