Bodycam footage shows moment police officer shoots dog
Two Cobb County officers were investigating a 911 call about a woman screaming for help when they knocked on the door of a home near Powder Springs. Body camera footage shows one resident come out, followed by his wife and two dogs. The woman is seen gripping the dog’s collar, but the animal escapes and runs down the front stairs, charging after the officers and barking during the Dec. 2 incident. Next is the sound of a gunshot. Zeta, a Labrador Retriever mix, died at the scene. Cobb police chief Stuart VanHoozer says the department is conducting an internal investigation to determine if the situation could have been handled differently. Both officers, whose names were not released, remain on the job, he said.
