FREEMANSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Authorities say a police officer slain while responding to a domestic disturbance in a small eastern Pennsylvania borough had pointed a stun gun at two dogs before being shot.

The Morning Call of Allentown reports Freemansburg police Officer Robert Lasso had pointed at the attacking dogs when the homeowner pulled out a shotgun and fired the fatal blast Thursday evening.

And the dogs will more than likely be put down unless a suitable home can be found for them.

The price of shooting at citizen's dogs just went up.

But the price for shooting a cop remains the same. This guy will fry, if PA has the death penalty.

A big story short on information. Prayers up. Our police have to face a dark and unpredictable world. Thank and support them when you can.

This happened in my area. I have a lot of questions about this. Freemansburg cops are a bunch hard asses. Not professional in my opinion. I would like to know why this perp shot the officer if he knew he was a cop. Was the cop out of uniform? There needs to be more info before I call for the perp to fry. This doesn’t add up to me.

“Court documents indicate the alleged gunman, 46-year-old George Hitcho Jr., had told Lasso to get off his property.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somebody better check. Is this guy a FReeper?

Cause I’ve read way too many replies from FReepers who have said they would do this if ever a cop shot their dog.

Before you pop off again, it says domestic violence call. And by law, all the so called private property claims go out the window. Try a little educational reading, it may help you, but I doubt it.
