Just noticed this (somewhat related) story: Camper accidentally shoots friend in face after thinking he hears bear

The two were camping near Nitinat River early Saturday when one of the men was woken up by what he thought was a black bear trying to get into their tent, Const. Grant Desmet of Lake Cowichan RCMP said.

The man grabbed a shotgun and fired several rounds in the direction of the "bear."

It looks like the friend, who was in the same tent, got caught in the crossfire and caught a few stray pellets. Luckily for the friend, the shooter was using bird shot.
