We finally were able to obtain a copy of the official police report on the shooting of a dog at Adams Morgan Day on Sunday. The report contains discrepancies from eyewitness accounts and the statement released by a spokesperson for the dog’s owner on Sunday night.

The narrative provided in the report states that Parrot, the dog who was shot, had been subdued by Officer Scott Fike, but was “attempting to get up by squirming back and forth and trying to bite at” Fike. The report says that the poodle who was involved in the initial scuffle with Parrot had a bloody leg, while Parrot had a bloody nose “and appeared to be out of control.” An officer was then “bit[t]en on the hand and wrist” before Parrot was thrown into the stairway of the Brass Knob — the report then states that Parrot “got back up and charged up the stairs,” at which point one round was fired, killing the animal.

It is interesting to note that, according to the report, animal control was not notified by the police on the scene of the incident until after the shot had been fired. Fike refused medical attention for “scratching to the hand and wrist.” The report does note that a police supervisor, David Terestre, recommended that the report be “investigate[d] further.”
