DeKalb County, GA - On Tuesday night, a DeKalb County police officer went to a family's home on Silva Court in response to a domestic dispute call.
When the officer went into the family's garage, he encountered a German shepherd who was on a chain.
Upon seeing a stranger approach, the German shepherd lunged - the officer's response was to shoot and kill the dog.

Right now, the officer is not facing any charges - there will be an internal investigation.

I just pray to the Lord Jesus that the LEO’s never make that mistake at my house. I have two GSD’s and a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that is an “ enforcer” of the Herding Pack! I am from a LEO family and appreciate the risks that they face everyday, but to shoot dogs like that is just wrong.
There you go.
