Blair’s roommate begged him not to shoot the pet, and Blair’s wife, who was standing outside with the two men, tried to talk him out of doing it, the report says. Blair’s roommate went inside to get his phone, and he heard several shots, the report says. Fearing for the lives of the dog and Blair’s wife, the roommate called 911.

Blair’s wife told deputies she saw him shoot the dog multiple times, and when deputies arrived they found the dog hiding under a vehicle bleeding heavily from multiple gunshot wounds. Due to the dog’s injuries, investigators had to euthanize the pet at the scene, the report says.
