The Erie police officer who shot and killed a dog Tuesday night killed another dog in 2007 after that animal attacked and seriously injured a boy.
The Camera reported in 2007 that Officer Jamie Chester responded to report of a 9-year-old boy who had been attacked by the family’s black Labrador retriever. Chester cornered the dog and asked for a pole to catch the dog, but he ended up shooting the dog twice when it turned on him, police said at the time. He then fired a third shot to put the dog down.
Brittany Moore, the Erie woman whose dog was killed Tuesday night, disputed the Erie Police Department’s account of the incident, saying her pet did not attack Chester and was actually turning away from him in response to her command when the officer fired.
