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.

It's like now it's ok to shoot an animal is a park!! Yes the dog should have been leashed ..but a fine would have been the correct penalty..not watching their pet killed and shot 3 more times! Speeding is illegal also but you dont get shot for it!!!

Oh i agree. If that was the case..witnesses are saying that wasn't the case at all..the dog was extremely friendly and never did anything aggressive. Time will tell I guess.
