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.

"...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..."

Poore folks have poor ways?

Bleedin' to death in the hot sun
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

Dog bit me so I got my gun
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

I miss my puppy and I feel so sad I guess my race is run
Well he's the best dog that I ever had
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

Shot myself in the gut and now I feel numb
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

Now I'm gonna die 'cause I'm so dumb
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

I miss my puppy and I feel so sad I guess my race is run
Well he's the best dog that I ever had
I fought my dog and my dog won
I fought my dog and my dog won

That was such a stupid thing to do..was he afraid of violating a "discharge a firearm" within city limits or what?

Doggie PING!

May ever stray dog in the county piss on his grave on a regular basis...........

[blau993]

Sobonya said the gun was an over-and-under rifle/shotgun combination, with a .22-caliber top barrel and a .410 bottom barrel. An autopsy performed Friday showed that Poole died of a gunshot wound from the .410 barrel.

Dog was even smart enough to pull the right trigger

[b4its2late]

Ping.

[cibco]

Everyone is pinging the dogs. How about the cats? Oops... they aren't smart enough to handle a gun.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

GOT WHAT HE DESERVED!The dog probably had been getting regular beatings and just simply had enough.
