Police officer Keenan Wallace is under fire after a viral video showed him shooting a small Chihuahua mix dog after being called to a home for a report of an aggressive dog.
The incident took place in Arkansas, where the Faulkner County Sheriff’s deputy responded to the Shiloh Estates in the town of Conway for a domestic call. As Fox 16 reported, video of the incident showed Wallace fire his weapon at the dog, causing it to yelp and squirm in pain on the grass near his feet.
Reports identified the dog, named Reese, as a Chihuahua mix that weighed less than 10 pounds. The dog was taken to a vet after the shooting and reportedly needed surgery for a shattered jaw. The dog is now expected to have a rough road ahead as it recovers from the gunshot wound.
