The bear was caught after going out of the Russian mall and was eventually surrounded by police at a kindergarten's yard.
A wild bear was caught on video going around a Russian mall in the city of Khabarovsk and only thrashing a window. There was no one hurt during the incident, but the local authorities are being investigated after shooting the bear dead even after it already left the Russian mall.
"The police did what was simplest," said Natalia Kovalenko, a local animal activist, Asia One reported.
"First they made it crazy by smoking it out of the mall, then when the animal came out and was defending itself out of fear, they shot it."
