TROY, Mich. - A Troy family is outraged after a family pet is shot and killed. The person who pulled the trigger is an off-duty, Oakland County sheriff's deputy.
Bear, a two-year-old Rottweiler, was shot to death across the street from her owner's Troy home.
"I think it's completely inhumane. Eight o'clock this morning, I get woken up to my mom (screaming), to my brother crying, 'Come outside,' and my dog's laying in the yard dead. I mean, it's ridiculous," said Gail Collins.
Bear, like her much bigger sister Brooklyn, was fenced in, but somehow got out and, according to Troy Police, cornered a 23-year-old jogger against a fence, although he was uninjured.
"Nothing wrong with him. No scratches, no cuts, no bites... nothing on the jogger," Collins said.
The sheriff's deputy just happened to drive by on his way to work and stopped to help the jogger and told Troy Police he fired when the dog moved toward him.
Collins says she questioned the man who shot her dog not realizing at the time he was an Oakland County Sheriff's deputy. Nevertheless, she says he provided little information.
