No one has been taken into custody and they aren't looking for anyone.

Best wishes for both officers. This looks like a mess.

Whiskey-Tango Foxtrot has this society become? The real question is, why were they on scene?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Cop apparently tried shooting a dog, and hit another cop instead.

 

[Dead Duck]

Cop hit in the shoulder........



That must have been one Ginormous dog.

 

[T.Lex]

Maybe it was a warning shot.

With due respect to those involved, and hoping for a full recovery of the shooting victim, could the headline read: Cop shoots cop to protect dog. ASPCA and PITA applaud.

 

[bwframe]

Maybe the dog had the cop on the ground?

 

[Hookeye]

Is the dog still aggressive?

Whenever I hear of folks shooting hunting partners or fellow officers............I always wonder if one was romping the other's ol lady.

 

[Trigger Time]

Maybe it was a warning shot.

Better press charges

 

[Trigger Time]

That dog will receive a warm welcome from the other animals in the pound. Instant street cred

 

[printcraft]

Maybe it was a warning shot.

Better press charges

No, no, no. You shoot your partner when it's a bear!

 

[Vigilant]

No, no, no. You shoot your partner when it's a bear!

But in the leg, not the shoulder!

Whiskey-Tango Foxtrot has this society become? The real question is, why were they on scene?

Society? Dude, it was blue on blue, literally.

A dog apparently charged them and someone became victim of friendly fire.

On scene looking to serve warrant.

 

[jbombelli]

Better press charges

 

[Mgderf]

So much fail...

 

[Alamo]

There's an awkward conversation looming down the road.

 

[Mgderf]

Officer has been identified as officer Lane Butler, a 3 year veteran of the LPD, according to WLFI.com
She was wearing a protective vest, but was struck in the back, above the protected area.

INGO always delivers. Best wishes for the officers.
