text: My sister lives in B.C. (Canada) and is looking for a house. She decides to put an offer in for a home pretty much in the middle of nowhere and- half in jest-asks if the current owners had ever seen bears on the property, to which they reply they had not. *The next day* a bear manages to open a glass sliding door and get into the dining room while the current owner and her boyfriend are in the house. They begin making noise (like you're apparently suppose to) in hopes of scaring the young black bear away, but it isn't budging. The owner barricades herself in a bedroom while the boyfriend begins putting together a rifle that was in pieces throughout the house. Meanwhile the girl is on the phone trying to convince a 911 operator that this is a *real* emergency (give that a try sometime, haha). The boyfriend finally gets the gun together and puts the bear to rest right in the dining room. Next step is to repair the bullet hole he put in the wall. I guess it was later discovered that the bear had a pretty bad infection, which is why it was so bold and unaffected by the noise the two generated. TL;DR - a bear was shot in the dining room of the house my sister is going to be moving into *the day after* the owner had told them she'd never seen a bear on the property before.
