A Virginia father of five has died after being struck by a bear falling from a tree, according to state wildlife officials. An investigation by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources suggests that a group of hunters chased a bear into a tree. Then as the group retreated from the bottom of the tree, one of the hunters shot the bear, according to officials.
