Man Fatally Shot While Beating Dog With Shotgun
Police: Weapon Must Have Discharged As Man Beat His Shar-Pei
WINCHESTER, Va. -- A man was shot fatally while trying to beat his dog to death with a shotgun, Winchester police said.
Police say the man called his wife at work Thursday and told her that their dog had bitten him and he intended to kill it.
Police say the wife Raymond Poore Jr. found him covered with dog bites and suffering from a shotgun wound to his abdomen. He died later at Winchester Medical Center.
Police say the shotgun must have gone off while Poore was using it to beat the 30-pound Shar-Pei. The stock of the weapon was broken and there appeared to be blood and dog hair on it.
A Winchester animal control officer took custody of the dog. There's no word on how badly it was injured.

Must have got confused and pointed the wrong end!
Or maybe the gun had a mind of it's own!

This moron must have really hated this little 30lb. dog to beat it to near death instead of just shooting it. He probably antagonized it to the point to cause the bites in the first place.
Definately deserving of the Darwin Award he received!

He didn't just shoot the dog because he was a sadistic bas***d who probably tormented the dog into attacking him in the first place. He got what he deserved.
