A Danville family is grieving after they said a police officer shot and killed their dog Monday night.
According to an incident report from the Danville Police Department, at 8:39 p.m. officers were at 100 Berman Drive for what an incident report dubs “police information.”
The neighbors, the Harper family, lived next door to 100 Berman Drive. The Harpers had a miniature dachshund, named Killer, that weighed about 12 or 13 pounds and was about a foot and a half long, said Tawaiin Harper, who wasn’t home at the time of the shooting.
But Tawaiin’s children were both upstairs during the shooting.
Carlos, Tawaiin’s son, heard the gunshot and walked downstairs.
“I saw my mom, and she started to cry,” he said.
Carlos’ mother told him that a police officer shot their dog because he was barking, he said.
