A bear was shot Wednesday night on the grounds of the Manitou Ridge Golf Course in White Bear Lake, a golf course official said.

Greg Hubbard said he was notified by course personnel of the shooting, which happened sometime between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. He believed that the bear was killed and the Department of Natural Resources was taking care of the remains.

The course hadn't had any previous bear sightings, Hubbard said.

The metro area has had bear sightings lately in Blaine, Woodbury and Mahtomedi.
