Officers were called to an apartment complex in the 2600 block of Divot Place just after 6 p.m. on a report of a domestic incident between two parties.

Fuqua said that when officers arrived, there was a dog present at the scene.

At some point during the investigation, Fuqua said the dog had some type of interaction with the officers, causing at least one officer to fire their weapon.

According to Fuqua, the officer was trying to shoot the dog, but accidentally struck both the dog and another officer.

On Wednesday, the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center said the dog was taken to an after-hours emergency veterinary hospital for evaluation, but it was humanely euthanized due to the extent of its injuries.

I hope they euthanized the pig too.

Wait again?

Have all of my upvotes

Yeah, I live in Ohio and I could swear I've seen this happen in Columbus before, but it's a new incident.

It would be nice if Ohio could make news for something positive

If a cop shoots any of my dogs, one of us isn't leaving the confrontation alive.

Hurt my animals, you get hurt, too. Simple as.

Yup. I have this thought every time I read a story like this, which is way too fucking often

Is there some kind of device I can put on my dog such that when he's fatally shot by a pig, he explodes, and kills them all?

You know, so justice can be served at least once in america

Just choose the martyrdom perk

Well.....in 1903 we made the news for the first ever airplane flight by the wright brothers.

Ohio, literally so bad people attempt to leave it by going directly upwards.

Cops shoot dogs way more often than we ever hear about. Even the DOJ did a study about it.

Just because your dog is shot doesn't mean they'll die.

You either don't have a dog or your dog should be taken from you.

North Carolina has something to say

Hi, this is the internet. It seems you're new here

If the dog is fatally shot, it will die. By definition.

but what if I can't read good? will the dog still die?

Come take him, I have your stretcher ready
