A Placer County Sheriff's Deputy says a bear was found shot and killed on a beach in the Homewood area of Lake Tahoe, California. The Deputy told News 4 the investigation is now in the hands of the California Department of Fish and Game.
According to Placer County authorities, a person can obtain a permit to shoot and kill a bear. A permit can only be issued if there is a reason; if a bear is a problem bear or has done damage to property. If there was no permit, Placer County authorities say this would be considered illegal.
