4:33 p.m. Saturday update:

A mother bear was injured by a Washoe County deputy Saturday morning in Incline Village.

At around 10:45 a.m., deputies responded to a report of a group of bears near residences in the area of Driver Way, a news release from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies encountered a mother and three cubs on arrival. According to the release, the group of bears had been "previously identified as food aggressive and deputies have had numerous encounters with this group in recent weeks."

"During today's encounter, the adult bear was injured by one of the deputies who intended to shoot a rubber round to scare the bear away but accidentally loaded a live round," the release said. "Lifesaving measures began."

The Nevada Department of Wildlife was notified and arrived on scene around noon.

NDOW transported the bear to a veterinarian for evaluation and treatment. According to a news release from NDOW, the bear is in stable condition and being monitored.

"The biggest risk remaining is infection," the release said.

According to NDOW, the cubs are old enough to be on their own, and NDOW will formulate a management plan for the cubs.
