Man shoots neighbor's dog with shotgun
Monday December 3rd, 2007
No charges were filed against a man who shot his neighbor's dog in the face
after a deputy determined in was done in self defense.
A Crestview woman called authorities after her red nose pittbull came home
from chasing a cat with a bloody face, according to a report from the
Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
After taking a closer look, the woman realized her dog had been shot.
A deputy spoke with others in the neighborhood and a man admitted to
shooting the dog with his shotgun. He said his girlfriend had called him and
said the dog was fighting with another dog in the front yard.
When he got home, he recognized the dog as the same one that attacked his
son one month earlier. He grabbed his shotgun and fired a shot above the
dog's head, but the animal started running at him.
As the dog was approaching, he fired one shot in at its head. The animal ran
away after being hit.
The deputy explained to the dog's owner it was unfortunate, but was a case
of self defense.
