> But video of the incident, captured by security cameras outside the apartment building, paints a more complicated story, according to a source who reviewed it.

> The footage shows Maguire sitting on a bench with her own small dog in her lap as a woman walking two other dogs passed by. One of the dogs — the pit bull — suddenly dragged her owner toward Maguire, snatched the small dog off the agent’s lap, and began aggressively shaking it, the source said.

> Maguire threw herself into the fracas and tried to separate the dogs, eventually drawing her weapon and placing it directly against the pit bull’s backside before shooting the animal once in its hindquarters, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

I have no problem with this.

Could had been a small child.

Idk why the article uses “complicated” when describing the situation. This persons dog was being attacked and it’s life was probably moments away from ending, so she stepped in and saved her animal. Obviously it’s sad for all parties, and unfortunate, but not sure what is complicated about it

Doesn’t matter, she is a law enforcement agent and used a gun. The outrage crowd will never see reason in her action.

For sure. Someone else said it in here - if her occupation was literally anything else at all, this wouldn’t be a headline. If it was a deranged homeless person it wouldn’t be even be a headline

Honestly, what was described here is a completely reasonable and controlled reaction by the FBI Agent. It appears the gun was only used as a last resort and it’s also very possible she shot the dog with the hopes of not killing it by aiming for its hindquarters.

That's not a complicated story. She saved her dog from getting murdered by another dog.
