Beaumont police shoot dog at park

Two dogs who had been dumped by their owner two days prior to this attack were running loose. They engaged in a fight with a leashed dog and redirected onto the owner when he attempted to help his dog. Police were flagged down. The man was able to fling his dog over a wall and began climbing the wall as well, with one of the dogs still biting him. When he was safely over and police arrived, one dog was shot and killed, while the other ran off and was confiscated by animal control.

In a strange statement, authorities claim the owner might be charged.

TX: Family grieve death of friendly dog

Police in Texas responded to an auto-alarm at an apartment two houses down from where an 8-yr-old pit bull resided. For some reason, the police cruiser pulled up in the driveway of the home with the dog. The dog got out and approached the car. The owner immediately grabbed the dog and put him back in the house.



Located only four feet away, the owner was not given a chance to grab his dog before an officer opened fire, shooting once, pausing then shooting three more times.

The dog was hit by all four bullets. At least one bullet struck the house next door.

The shooting is being reviewed.
