From the Aberdeen Police Department:
(Aberdeen, Maryland) March 26,2012- At about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, March 25, officers responded to the first block of Liberty Street to investigate the report of a dog being shot.
Arriving officers found a dead pit bull which had suffered from a gunshot wound to head. Residents heard the dog barking and a single gunshot, when the residents ran outside they found the dog but no one was in the area. The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to Detective Donald Licato, Aberdeen Police Criminal Investigations Section at 410-272-2121.
That is a horrible story, I hope they catch the killer and prosecute him/her to the fullest extent of the law.
That is a horrible story, I hope they catch the owner of the pitbull and prosecute him/her to the fullest extent of the law. Thank goodness it was shot before it hurt someone.
Did this dog do something to deserve to be shot, Balloran?
Balloran, what a crappy thing to say. Not all pit bulls hurt people, and those that do most likely have irresponsible owners. I don’t blame the breed, and I certainly don’t believe any dog deserves to be shot because it MAY one day hurt someone. How ignorant.
Are you a moron???????????? What do you mean thank God the dog was shot before he hurt or killed anyone? The poor dog is the one that is dead, idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps the dog was a nuisance, perhaps the dog was attacking someone. We should not jump to conclusions about this dog or its owner until we have the facts. We should not pass judgements based on media accounts.
I would think that if it were attacking a person, you would have heard screams or there would be a body besides that of a DOG!!
I know that if I saw a pit bull running around out side without a leash, and it came for me, I would not “scream” I would shoot it too.
Being a “NUISANCE” doesn’t justify killing an animal. Except where and when it is legal to do so for the greater good of the species i.e deer hunting, alligator hunting. What a MORON!
Lol… You were obviously the first and only one to jump to conclusions.
If only there were as much outrage for Trayvon Martin!
LOL BALLORAN.
How about I jump to the conclusion that you’re a big-time dumb-ass.
Wow, name calling how mature. Thanks again for showing us that there is no such thing as an open minded Liberal. You must resort to name calling when someone has a differing opinion then yours. Keep youre animals on a leash and in your yard. They wont get shot. Or send them over to MSRK’s house. He/She/It seems to be willing to board Nuisince animals. Glad my tad dollars are going to waste feeding another stray.
I agree that animals should be on a leash or in a yard, and at all time controlled by the owner. If that is not the case, however, that does not automatically mean the dog is a threat to anyone. If Kelly feels justified shooting a dog just because a dog is approaching her I am hoping two things: that she is not armed as a rule, and that she lives far far away from my neighborhood.
The pitbull’s name was “skittles”
Well its a sad day for the owner I’ve had pits most of my live not once did they hurt anyone. Pitts has a bad rap BC of stupid owners. Just BC the owner is beating them starving them making them fight ect the poor Pitts are doomed. I just got another one last week why BC once again the owner took the dog (noT knowin how to train him) but took him beat him.n caged him for 3weeks he was caged grant you he was only 2months 1weeks old being jailed n abused for what?? All BC aww he’s so cute r I want a puppy NO that’s no reason to take a puppy your heart n soul must b there too. Now I have this puppy I’ve fixed all his cuts n bruises now I have to fix his soul. He’s trustin me n I have to trust him, see it takes the bad out of him to show n teach him its ok n will b ok for him. To the owners my god b with yu
