UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A woman in Fayette County said police used her dog for target practice when she called them for help. Elizabeth D'Auria said she and her sister found their two-year-old pit bull dead after calling 911 for help. snip "They shot him six times with a pistol and once with a shotgun. They took the dog and we asked them if we could have him back to bury him and they won't give him back to us," said D'Aurio.
