Ohio: Retired Cleveland police officer fatally shoots dog that attacked his dog

OHIO -- A retired Cleveland police officer shot and killed a dog Wednesday after it attacked his dog, according to a police report.

The 52-year-old former officer is not charged with any crimes. cleveland.com does not name uncharged suspects. Police are still investigating to see if he will be charged with a crime.

Apparently they also don't want to bother describing the type of dog that attacked his dog.

The retired officer was walking his dog about 11 a.m. Wednesday in the 4000 block of Bader Avenue when another dog jumped a fence and attacked his dog.

The neighbor's dog bit his dog in the neck and shook it, according to police reports. He tried to pull the other dog off, but the dog started attacking him, according to police reports.

The retired officer was "fearing for his safety" when he pulled out his semi-automatic handgun and fired five shots at the dog. The dog stopped its attack, walked a short distance and died, police reports say.

The dead dog's owner told police he was in the backyard with his dog when he went inside to answer a phone call. A short time later, he heard shots fired and found his dog in the front yard with several gunshot wounds.

The retired officer stayed at the scene and spoke with officers. He has a concealed carry license and his gun was registered to him, police reports say.

The city's dog kennel took the dead dog's remains, according to police reports.

Police found three bullet casings at the scene.

  1. The 'dog' that rightly got shot dead wasn't a dog, it was one of those mutants achieved by mixing pit bull and 'mastiff' type -- in this case the mutant they call AMERICAN BULL DOG.

    The mutant's owner, Megan Jackson, feels (as they always do) that her pit bull mix had a perfect right to kill this man's normal dog. She's all full of self-pity because instead her mutant ended up being the one to die.
