A mixed breed dog was reported running loose. The dog was normally chained. When an officer arrived, he followed the dog back home. The dog was loose on the driveway, barking. The owner of the dog came out and said she would get something to restrain the dog with (instead of just bringing the dog inside).

Oklahoma City Police Shoot Dog, Hit Man As Well

Police have a history of visiting the house where a dog was shot and a man injured from ricocheting bullet fragments. The dog ran out towards two police officers, on accident. The owner of the dog ran after her, yelling that she was friendly and not to shoot her.

Instead, they shot her multiple times. Mere feet from the owner, who was struck in the chest with a bullet fragment. The dog was later euthanized due to the extent of her injuries.

Tulsa police did not put child in danger during dog shooting

About a week ago, a Tulsa police officer shot at a dog 10' in front of a child standing in a doorway. One shot hit the cement, the other hit the dog (article does not mention if dog died).

The dogs have a long history of getting loose. Officers were called out because the dogs appeared aggressive. The dogs were hanging out on their own property, though, when police arrived - one on the porch, one on the front yard. They acted territorial and barked at the officer, then both dogs went back into the house.

When the officer knocked on the door, he encountered a belligerent 10-yr-old as well as one of the dogs. The dog approached the officer aggressively.

The mother claims the officer shot the dog 3' away from her child while the officer (and forensic reports) show that the officer was 10' away from the dog.

Here's another article: The dog did die.

Sallisaw police shoot dog who bit child

A mixed breed dog was running loose when he was approached by three boys who thought the dog was friendly. When the dog began to growl, the children started to back away, turning their backs on the dog. The dog jumped on one of the boy's, scratching his ear and biting his arm. The dog was easily scared off by a woman yelling. He was later shot dead by the victim's father, a police officer.
