Two dogs were running loose on the 1400 block of Wiley Avenue on March 23, according to a Fairborn police report, when one of the dogs charged an officer. The officer fired two shots of his Glock 21, striking the dog at least once in the shoulder.
The officers were responding to a neighbor’s animal complaint, according to the police report. The neighbor, another neighbor and a home healthcare worker each told officers the dog was aggressive.
Christy Adamson said her daughter suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and acquired the dog, which she said has “limited training” as a service animal. Adamson told NewsCenter 7’s Kate Bartley their veterinarian confirmed the dog was hit twice.
“The first bullet went through her femur, right above her elbow and hit her left shoulder,” said Adamson. “The second bullet was lodged in her shoulder blade with a fragment in her chest.”
The dog had a leg amputated and shoulder blade removed.
This newsroom attempted to reach Fairborn police and the city’s manager and solicitor, but did not receive an immediate reply Thursday afternoon.
