Man shoots neighbor's dog after attack on family pet in Brownsville, MDSO says
The shooting happened around 11 a.m. on the 11th floor of a building in the 5100 block of Northwest 29th Avenue.
Deputies responded along with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue after neighbors reported hearing a gunshot.
Seletio Murley shot the dog after it attacked his two-year-old dog named King, said his wife, Teresa Murley.
"My husband went in the house and got his gun and shot him—he had no choice," she said.
Teresa Murley told CBS News Miami that the dog that was shot was a pit bull and said the incident began when the pit bull escaped from a neighbor's apartment.
"My husband was playing with the dog on the porch, rolling [a] ball, the owner of the dog came home with his McDonald's and he opened up the door and the pit bull came outside and he attacked my dog," she said. "My husband tried to get him off and the other guy tried to get him off too, the owner."
Murley said they tried everything to separate the animals.
"My husband broke out a kitchen chair trying to get him off and he wouldn't get off. I also tried and got bit, and my husband went in the house, got his gun and shot him," she said, adding she plans to get a tetanus shot.
One resident, who lives one floor above, said the building should re-examine pet safety policies.
"Nobody should have to shoot a dog; I don't think that's right," said Ariel Acanda.
The owner of the dog that was shot declined to comment. Authorities said no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed at this time.

'What The F**k': Jim Acosta Slammed Over 'One Of A Kind Interview' With Dead Parkland Victim
Former CNN host Jim Acosta faced backlash on Monday after sharing what he called a 'one of a kind interview' with an AI version of late Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, a bot created by his parents to honor their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. The interview — shared to Acosta's SubStack page on Monday — depicts Oliver, one of 17 victims who died in the 2018 massacre, remarking on the cause of death and stressing why it's 'important' to talk about gun violence in schools. The AI — when asked for its 'solution' to gun violence — emphasized a need for a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement. The bot of Oliver proceeded to speak in a noticeably higher tone before discussing the late teen's interests in the Miami Heat and 'Star Wars.' Acosta — who declared that the technology left him 'speechless' — called the conversation 'so insightful,' telling the late teen's father Manuel Oliver that it felt like the first time he really got to know his son. 'I felt like I was communicating with him which is just so remarkable,' Acosta said. 'People say, 'Well, AI, you know, it could be bad, it could cause all these destructive things.' This is an example of how it might actually do some good, it might help some people who have suffered tremendous losses like your family have a way to hold on to hold onto who this person was which I think is a beautiful thing.' Manuel Oliver and his wife Patricia Oliver — co-founders of the gun control advocacy group Change the Ref — have been involved in other projects that demand action against gun violence including a school shooting video game, a play and a site that uses AI to recreate victims' voices for calls to Congress. Manuel Oliver — in a video shared to X, formerly Twitter — acknowledged that the AI was his and his wife's idea, adding that Acosta shouldn't be blamed for 'what he was able to do' in the 'interview.' 'If the problem that you have is with the AI then you have the wrong problem,' he said. 'The real problem is that my son was shot eight years ago. So if you believe that that is not the problem, you are part of the problem.' While Acosta restricted those who could reply to his posts on X, it wasn't the same case on his BlueSky account where a number of critics were stunned by the AI move. 'Hey Jim. Quick question. What the fuck is wrong with you,' replied one user. 'What I want to know is what the fuck is wrong with the PARENTS?!' another user wrote. Check out those reactions and more below. Related...

A man shot and killed his neighbor's dog in a Brownsville apartment building Monday after the animal attacked his own pet, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

White House Peddles New Excuse for Moving Ghislaine to Comfy Jail
The Trump administration has a fresh excuse for transferring Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to a comfier jail. The White House has been accused of giving Maxwell, 63, preferential treatment after moving the convicted sex trafficker from a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, to a minimum-security federal prison camp close to her family in Bryan, Texas, on Friday. The Federal Bureau of Prisons waived a policy designated to punish convicted sex offenders to permit the transfer, which came after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent two days questioning Maxwell about Epstein's high-profile connections. Pressed on Maxwell's eyebrow-raising transfer, a senior administration official told the Daily Beast Monday that the move was nothing out of the ordinary. 'Any false assertion this individual was given preferential treatment is absurd,' the official said. 'Prisoners are routinely moved in some instances due to death threats, and significant safety and danger concerns.' The White House did not clarify whether Maxwell—who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's child sex-trafficking operation—faced specific threats. The Bureau of Prisons and Maxwell's attorney did not respond to an immediate request for comment. A source told the Daily Mail Sunday that Maxwell was 'considered a snitch by other inmates at Tallahassee' after she spoke to Blanche and that there were 'very real and very credible threats on her life.' Two of Epstein and Maxwell's accusers condemned the transfer in a statement, as well as the family of Virginia Giuffre, another accuser who died by suicide. 'Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas. This is the justice system failing victims right before our eyes,' the statement said. Maxwell's new jail in Texas meets the Bureau of Prisons' lowest security-level designation. The prison features a study, a game room, and arts and crafts classes. Inmates have access to technical courses and video calls with family. The dorm-like facility also houses disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah. Maxwell is asking the Supreme Court to overturn her 2021 conviction and has petitioned Congress to support her bid for clemency in exchange for testimony. At the same time, she is reportedly seeking a pardon from Trump, who has stressed that he's 'allowed to do it' while claiming he hasn't given much thought. But Maxwell's prosecutors and even Republican lawmakers have warned that her word is not to be trusted and have pushed back against a potential pardon. 'It's ridiculous that he would consider shortening a sentence for somebody who aided and abetted sexual trafficking as she did,' a Republican senator who requested anonymity told The Hill. 'She's trafficking underage children. I can't imagine anything she could say could nullify her heinous crimes.'
