A Norfolk police officer allegedly shot a dog dead on June 21 while responding to a report of an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound. The man with the gunshot wound is expected to recover.
The officer discharged their service weapon in the direction of the dog, which was described as 'vicious' and approaching. The investigation remains underway.
This incident comes just days after LAPD officers killed Jameson, a family dog, at a Canoga Park apartment complex on June 13. Jameson's family disputes the officers' claim that the dog charged at them.
