As we approach the one-year anniversary of the day a D.C. police officer shot a dog at the Adams Morgan Day festival, another police officer has been accused of firing his service weapon at a pit bull. WJLA reports that “Blue,” a three-year-old male, was wounded in the shoulder and hip after the animal approached an officer who was on the chase for a suspect along the 900 block of Crittenden Street NW.

The dog’s owner, who was cited for not having the animal on a leash, claims that the officer fired several shots at the animal and had pointed the weapon in her direction, as well:

Reynolds says one officer came up an alley, his gun drawn, and told her to grab her dog, who wasn’t on a leash.

But then, she says, “As my dog looked back, he began to shoot at my dog. Q: and you’re still holding onto him? As I’m grabbing him. The officer could’ve shot me. I’m grabbing toward toward the dog and he’s shooting my dog.”

Perhaps most frightning, Reynolds says, was that the gun was pointed at her and her sister.

“I think the officer was really scared’, Shana Reynolds says.

“Probably scared him more ‘cos he pointed a weapon at us”, she adds.

The police department is conducting an investigation, as they are required to do whenever an officer fires his or her service weapon; the animal is expected to survive.
