The LAPD has released bodycam footage showing officers fatally shooting Jameson, a golden retriever-poodle mix, during a welfare check in Canoga Park. The dog's family alleges the shooting was unnecessary and accuses officers of escalating the situation. The neighbor who called 911 has apologised, expressing guilt over the outcome. LAPD says the dog charged officers
The Los Angeles Police Department has released body camera footage from a controversial officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of a family dog during a welfare check in Canoga Park.
The incident occurred on Jordan Avenue on Saturday evening after police were called to investigate reports of screaming coming from a residence. What began as a routine welfare check ended with officers fatally shooting Jameson, a golden retriever-poodle mix, prompting public criticism and renewed scrutiny of police procedures involving animals.
The footage, which was partially released by LAPD, captures officers arriving at the apartment, the sound of barking, commands directed at the dog's owner, and the moment shots were fired. The publicly released video cuts shortly after the first gunshot.
