Regina police shoot dog during theft investigation
In a news release, police say officers were dispatched to a home on the 1500 block of Athol Street at about 8:10 a.m. CST to investigate a report that two dogs had been taken without permission and were believed to be at that address.
According to police, officers were speaking with someone outside the home when the person turned to go back inside. Police say the two dogs involved in the investigation then ran out the front door toward one of the officers. One of the officers shot and injured one of the animals.
Police said officers provided first aid at the scene before transporting the injured dog to a veterinary clinic.
The dog "appeared to have non-life-threatening injuries located in the front leg area," police told CBC News.
The incident is under investigation. Because a firearm was used, the case will be reviewed by the Regina Police Service's Use of Force Review Board and reported to the Saskatchewan Police Commission.
