Reply to comment by Anutka25 in UPDATE: FBI agent who fatally shot dog leads the bureau’s Philly office, sources say by Banglophile

Knee jerk reaction?
>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

Her dog didn’t even sustain any damage though? She just took her home? How violently was she being attacked?

Did she have to shoot the dog to kill? Why couldn’t she aim at the paw or something?

Im sure it was a very intense moment and I don’t know what she must have felt like, but there are lots of details missing. All we hear is that a pit bull violently attacked this dog, that didn’t even need medical attention after?

I don’t disagree that the other owner should have had better control of their dog, but I doubt that it’s so black and white.
