That may be way off base because I can't remember any details -- just something sticking in the back of my mind.
I seem to remember the same thing - but then I found this on Yahoo:

"The writer's compound in Woody Creek, not far from Aspen, was almost as legendary as Thompson. He prized peacocks and weapons; in 2000, he accidentally shot and slightly wounded his assistant trying to chase a bear off his property."

Maybe that's what you're thinking about?
