Dog injured after being shot by Walmart security guard during disturbance
Omaha NE Aug 5 2019
A Walmart security guard shot a dog Saturday night after someone had released it when the security guard was trying to de-escalate a disturbance in the store’s parking lot, Omaha police said.
The dog was injured but survived, Omaha police spokeswoman Kelsey Murphy said.
No humans, including the security guard, were injured, Murphy said.
The security guard was an off-duty police officer, but not from the Omaha Police Department, she said.
The incident was reported about 10:15 p.m. at the Walmart at North 50th Street and Ames Avenue.
A person who had been involved in the disturbance let the dog free after the security guard got involved, Murphy said.
It was not immediately clear if there were any arrests. The Nebraska Humane Society was called in to help.
