Police shoots 4 year old girl while trying to kill a dog

[quote]An Ohio police officer accidentally shot a 4-year-old girl in the leg while trying to stop her family's dog from attacking him Friday, authorities said. Ava Ellis, of Columbus, is expected to make a full recovery, the Columbus Dispatch reported. The officer, who has not yet been identified, was called over to the girl's house after leaving the home of a neighbor who had earlier been hit by a car, police said.Her aunt screamed that Ava's mom had cut herself and needed assistance, police spokeswoman Denise Alex-Bouzounis told the Dispatch. When the officer got to the house, a dog charged him, Alex-Bouzounis said. He fired one shot at the dog to make it stop, but the bullet accidentally hit Ava in the right leg. "She was saying something about 'Why would you try to shoot the dog?' and he said something like the dog was attacking him," neighbor Gary Parsley told 10TV. "Then, she started saying 'You shot my kid!'." The girl and her mother were transported to the hospital, and the officer was not injured. The Ellis family has two dogs that wear shock collars, preventing them from leaving the house, neighbor Carrie Britton said. The officer was a "big guy," Parsley said. Alex-Bouzounis declined to tell 10TV what size the dog was but said it was a mutt. A department representative did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment Saturday. The shooting is an ongoing investigation.[/quote] http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/ohio-shoots-girl-4-aiming-charging-dog-article-1.2265218 Still think these thugs should be walking the streets?

  • It's like watching a moth repeatedly flying into a light bulb. You watch it knowing it's an idiot but it keeps on going. Yes, police do dumb shit, I also like animals and I would be more than pissed off if a cop shot my daughter while trying to kill one of my pets. I'd make damn sure he never worked in law enforcement again. That said, if the police went away your country would fall into chaos and end up under martial law.
