re: Missouri man recieves $50,000 settlement after cop shoots his dog.

By the time that officers responded, Cammie had been secured to a trailer. The officers removed her from the tether and proceeded to utilize a catch pole to restrain her.

As the frightened dog struggled to get away, LaGrange police officer Doug Howell drew his gun and shot her in the shoulder. The dog dropped to the ground and was not moving, aside from her wagging tail.

Moments later, Officer Howell fired a shot into Cammie's head, killing her. Howell claimed that he shot Cammie because he feared for his life.
