A Lorain family is heartbroken and outraged after their dog was shot and killed by a Lorain Police officer Sunday afternoon.
Tammie and Mellenie Kerns told News 5 the family’s four labrador retrievers ran out the front door of their Oberlin Avenue house when the mother and daughter were trying to leave for an errand shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday. As they attempted to round the dogs up and bring them back inside, they said an officer pulled over.
“I thought I was going to get shot when he yelled, ‘Stop.’ And when he fired that first shot at Dixie, I dropped to hold my other dog, Beethoven. I thought I was going to lose all of it because of a trigger-happy cop,” Kerns said. In the incident report, the officer said it appeared someone had been bitten by a dog when he arrived at the scene and that she charged at him. Dixie’s owners challenge that narrative, saying none of their dogs have ever shown aggression.
“The whole scene was just horrific,” she said. “I have four dogs in there. I’m a dog lover, and it bothered me all day yesterday.”
