Terrified wife captures moment her husband shoots giant grizzly bear...

• By DAILYMAIL.COM REPORTER

Canadian officials are investigating a horrific standoff that led to a man shooting a charging grizzly bear in his front yard. 

Shocking footage shows Lawrence Michalchuk encountering the mother bear and her three cubs after the group wandered onto his Bella Coola, British Columbia, property.

He had just returned home with his wife after visiting in-laws in the city, according to the video's caption

Michalchuk fired two warning shots at the huge beast in an effort to get the animals to flee.

'It's basically just to shoot in the air to make noise to scare them away,' he told CTV on Tuesday.

They fled but the man then went outside and yelled at the mother grizzly in an effort to 'keep her moving.'
