The Waco Police Department says it is "saddened" after its officers shot and killed a family pet when its officers responded to the wrong address.
On June 3, officers were called to respond to a burglary in progress. According to police, the 9-1-1 caller said that someone had kicked their door in and in the background the dispatcher could hear a male's voice saying, "I'm not trying to hurt you."Dispatchers entered the address into the system for the 3200 block of N. 20th Street A. The police department says the dispatch system autocorrected the address to the 3200 block of N.
As officers entered the apartment and announced their presence multiple dogs came running at the officers. Waco Police say one of the dogs lunged at an officer twice and that one of the officers fired at the dog, hitting him.
