This came out of the Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader today. I'd go to the site, but they were infected by a virus twice this week, and I don't feel like taking the chance. Good thing I can type relatively fast.
Moose killed after attacking house, man
Limerick, Maine (AP)- A 550 pound bull moose that charged at David Morin was no match for his assault rifle.
Morin, who awoke to a crashing sound outside his home Wednesday night, said he acted in self-defense by shooting the moose when he went outside and the animal charged at him.
Morin said the moose was crashing its antlers against his home and refused to be frightened away.
He first grabbed a .357 handgun, and looked out the door. He tried to scare the animal away three times. He was concerned that the moose might smash the windows and charge through the house.
The fourth time he went outside, the moose started toward him. By then Morin had traded his handgun for an AK-47 assault rifle.
He shot the animal and killed it.
"I thought when I went out he'd go away, because I didn't really want to shoot him," he said.
