NEAH BAY, Wash. (AP) — An injured California gray whale was swimming out to sea Saturday after being shot with a machine gun off the western tip of Washington state, officials said.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Kelly Parker said five people believed to be members of the Makah Tribe shot and harpooned the whale Saturday morning. The extent of the whale's injuries were not immediately known.

Members of the Makah Tribe harpooned and shot a gray whale Saturday without federal permission, but authorities late in the day were trying to sort out conflicting information behind the incident.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Kelly Parker confirmed the hunt by five tribal members. The whale was one mile east of Neah Bay, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about a half-mile off shore and wasn't killed.
