The “Law and Order” actress posted about the incident on social media after it took place saying in part, “This Easter weekend, a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver. He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog.”

PEOPLE reported that it happened at her home in Charlotte, North Carolina, on March 30.

“The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog,” police said at the time. But, Harmon rebutted the driver’s self-defense claim.

“He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn,” she wrote on social media. “He shot our dog with my daughters & myself at home & just kept saying, ‘Yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did.’”

Instacart responded in a statement to PEOPLE.

“We were deeply saddened and disturbed to hear about this incident. We have no tolerance for violence of any kind, and the shopper account was immediately suspended from our platform. We have been in direct contact with the customer and are cooperating with law enforcement on their investigation.”
