The bear bit the boy's head, then went after his mother after she tried to fend off the attack with rocks and sticks, Hicks said. The animal picked up the woman with its mouth and dragged her off the trail.
The girl ran away, and about an hour later was found with the bear hovering over her body, Hicks said. A rescuer fired a shot that scared the animal off, Hicks said. Authorities said they do not know whether it was wounded.
Tennessee does not allow civilians to carry a firearm on the grounds of any public park, playground, civic center or other building facility, area or property owned, used or operated by any municipal, county or state government, or instrumentality thereof, for recreational purposes.
The person that fired that gun is a criminal and deserves to be punished.

maybe this rescuer was driving on the highway and heard some over his cb

I'd pack in bear country regardless of the law.
If it hadn't been for the criminal, the lady and her other kid would probably also be dead.
The law of the woods when in bear or cougar country is Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up. >:D :angel: :-X

after several adult visitors tried to drive it off the trail
What was that all about I wonder? If the bear was already acting strangely shouldn't someone have called a park ranger *first*, before they started bugging the damn thing to the point it went and ate someone smalller?

That's also the law when it comes to finding endangered species on your land.
I live across from a little lake, if a nesting Canadian Goose 'happens' to die near the lake, the turtles drag it and the eggs in and devour them with-in an hour.
