As the officer called out to the woman repeatedly concerning her welfare, the dog began to run towards the officer while barking.
The officer walked backwards from the running dog while drawing his gun.
The officer fired it multiple times towards the dog.
“After the shots were fired, the woman yelled out and it was apparent she was injured,” police said in the news release.
My first thought is that was her dog.
What I can’t ascertain: Did she die by gunshot wound from the officer? This story feels like the editors really stepped on this quite a bit.
