A woman's dog was severely injured after a Grand Rapids Police officer shot at it when it charged at him early Friday morning. Sgt. Catherine Williams said that officers responded to a call at 2.15 am from a pedestrian about an aggressive dog on the loose. “When we arrived, the dog was still on scene, loose and pacing between four houses,” Williams said. “When officers tried to entice the dog, it charged.”
Officers at the scene tried to find the owner by attempting to contact multiple nearby homes, but in vain. At the time of the incident, Shequelle Robinson, the dog's legal owner, was at work. She was called by a neighbor who informed her of the police presence around her residence and told her that they shot her dog.
