The security authorities are yet to identify any of the two men who are involved.
About 25,000 black bears live in Oregon, and they advise homeowners to avoid confrontations with them.
According to the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office, when the man called 911, he said he was loading his weapon with the intention of shooting at the bear.
When the police arrived at his house, they found both men dead; each of them had a single gunshot wound.
They are currently under investigation by the sheriff’s office and Oregon state police.
They later went to forward their findings to the state medical examiner’s office.
Rising gun ownership in the United States has resulted in an increase in the number of deaths and injuries caused by accidental discharge.
Data from the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence shows that almost 500 people die every year in unintentional shootings.
