Danville, VA fire officer who shot miniature doxie

I'm surprised, really. Rarely do these cases result in disciplinary action, let alone the complete discharge of an officer.

I blogged about this earlier. Initially higher-ups in the police department defended the actions of the officer who shot and killed a 5-10lb miniature doxie who had approached him from behind.

Now they are singing a different tune. The officer has been fired.
