OAKLAND — A 47-year-old man was shot and killed while using a sledgehammer to break up concrete chunks and hurl them at cars and property, and now the suspect is behind bars facing a murder charges.
The strange sequence of events started around 4 p.m. March 28, when Greer was seen using a sledgehammer to break up chunks of concrete outside the abandoned home, then began hurling them at the property and cars parked nearby, police said. At some point while Greer was doing this, Dorn allegedly exited the abandoned residence, got on a green bicycle, rode a short distance away, returned with a revolver, and shot Greer in the head.
When the cops got to the area, they quickly noted the abandoned home was full of several squatters and what turned out to be 14 stray dogs, and called for backup. Police then emptied the home and turned the dogs over to animal control. Nearby residents told investigators it was common to see squatters and dogs coming and going from the home throughout the day, authorities said.

Festival!
Sounds like an attempt to remove squatters.
Dogs and squatters should have been treated equally- should all have been turned over to Animal Control.
