Newtown residents sound off on bear shooting

Summary by Ground News
Law enforcement officers with the state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection ruled that Lawrence Clarke, the off-duty Ridgefield police officer who shot the black bear more than three months ago, did so because he feared for his life.
