On Monday, three DeKalb police officers responded to a report of a burglary in progress, and entered the wrong home. In a bizarre turn of events, officers shot an unarmed homeowner, killed his dog and wounded a fellow officer, according to authorities.

Of the Georgians fatally shot by police since 2010, more than a third were killed at home, according to an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News.
