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.

Niagara Falls police shoots dog attacking his partner
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - A police officer in Niagara Falls shot a 90-pound pit bull to death after the dog knocked down a fellow officer and mauled him.
Police Lt. Michael Kachurek says the officers were investigating a burglary at an apartment house early Monday morning when the dog bounded out of another apartment and bowled over 1 of the cops. The dog's owner tried to call the animal back inside but it continued to bite the officer until his partner shot it.
The officer was treated for bite wounds at the hospital and the owner was cited for having an unlicensed dog and failing to properly restrain it.
Police later tracked down a 21-year-old man who had entered the building, starting the whole episode, and charged him with criminal trespassing.

Sale lake police shoot and kill loose dog
Two dogs escaped from their yard. They approached two girls walking their dog. One report claims one dog attacked the girls' dog, but this turns out to be untrue (no injuries to the other dog and other witness reports). At some point, the girl grabbed her dog and put the dog over her head, which just excited and agitated one of the loose dogs more. The girls were able to shove the dogs away and manhandle them without being bitten.
A plains-clothes officer nearby approached, told the girls to step aside, then shot at the dog while the girls were three feet away. He missed the first three times and hit the dog the fourth time. The dog later died.
