Providence, RI - Rhode Island State Police say that the shooting death of a woman's Pit bull, "Champ" was an "unfortunate accident".
Accident or not, a beloved family companion is dead.
The tragedy happened on Wednesday morning when a fugitive task force was stationed outside of a home in Providence.
Though the task force was waiting for a fugitive to emerge, they were instead greeted by two dogs who had been let out for a potty break.
