Mother Jones reports that a security guard for oil giant BP at the company's oil field in Alaska's North Slope shot and killed a polar bear earlier this month.
BP Alaska spokesman Steve Rinehart said the guard thought he'd fired a bean bag round at the female bear but BP later discovered it was a "cracker shell" that mortally wounded her.
