Those who witnessed the incident - and video – question authorities’ actions towards two animals.
Friday afternoon outside Chester High School in PA a brawl between two dogs resulted in an open fire by police officers called onto the scene.
The incident ignited when one dog jumped in the back of a truck where another dog was kept – and the fight was on.
The two officers called to the scene reacted to the aggression using a pistol and a shotgun, shocking all those around and especially the onlooker who caught it all on their camera phone.
Aside from being horrified that the officers would resort to shooting the animals on school property, Chester residents were equally as concerned about how unsafe the situation was for civilians.
Resident Tehran Freeman told reporters, later quoted by The Inquisitr, “it wasn’t secure at all, I know bullets can ricochet and anything else — you’re trying to shoot two animals in the back of a metal vehicle, that bullet can go anywhere.”
However, a close viewing of the video shows the officers were just as upset about their decision, as was clear in their reactions.
At the time of the incident it was unclear who either dog belonged to, and no one claimed them soon after the shooting either.
