How does that even happen? Three men, one dog and one guy ends up dead? Don't make sense. I can't figure why the cops shot near the dog to scare him. The didn't teach me that in the Police Academy. They didn't. That's CYA for panicked, adrenaline fueled, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, aim. I wouldn't bet on that yet. I can see how they might do that if the dog is on top of the man and they didn't want to take a chance of hitting him by shooting at the dog.

I've got a couple of old friends still working for the Big Spring PD and I'll probably get the whole story pretty soon but I seriously doubt your explanation for shooting close to the dog was the reason. The lady who lives across the street said the dog was all over this guy, shooting into the pile is probably not the best idea. She also said that was one bloody mess, with multiple people in the pile. It's not the first time the owner and his dogs have had the police called so I expect charges to come from this one.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

1/2 the reason I carry a gun (or guns) is for wild dogs.
I ain’t goin out like that.
I hope they throw the dog owner in jail for an extended time.
Dog owners are responsible for their animals. If a wild dog ever attacks me, or my family, I’m shooting the owner & the dog.

I don't give dogs a chance to do harm to any animal or human if I see it on my property. SSS is my motto. Pits are disaster waiting to happen plus owners who let their dogs roam free or not take the precaution to corral deserve what they get.

I don't think he mind if you took that risk. That dog should have been dispatched immediately. He might be still alive today.

If there were people nearby, and they feared they would hit an innocent party, they would not have shot at all. Next!

I don't think cops shoot near perpetrators when other people are around.
