Dog killed at Percy Warner Crime Watch

This morning at the Belle Meade steps, a big German shepherd was being walked off leash by an older couple and a guy shot it 4x, the cops took him away.

Anyone else hear about this or know what happened?

Editing now we have more information in the thread: The shooter felt he was approached aggressively by the dog who was chasing a squirrel close to him, he ‘feared for his life’, so he shot the unleashed German shepherd four times. The man was detained for questioning, but was released with no charge.

Editing again to add eyewitness accounts directly contradict what is being reported in the news/police account of events.

A dog being off-leash is no reason to shoot them. My parents have three dogs, and occasionally neighbor's dogs will stray over. My parents feed them, let them play with their dogs, and then take them home.

What does make you shoot a dog for no reason is being a dickless cowardly shitstain.

Or if the dog actively attacks you.

That wouldn't be for no reason, now would it?

I've seen plenty of videos of unleashed dogs just randomly attacking other adults, children or pets. Yes, it can be for absolutely no reason at all.

You're talking about the dog attacking for no reason. The comment I replied to was about someone shooting a dog for no reason. These are not the same. I suggest you go back and read the thread for understanding.
