Police: Mississippi Woman Shooting at Dog Kills Husband


Published July 16, 2011
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. – Police in Mississippi say a woman opened fire on a puppy that had threatened children, but wound up shooting and killing her husband.

Witnesses tell police that the pit bull named "Cocaine" had lunged at some children and tried to attack them on Friday. The dead man's son says the children were taken inside and his father picked the dog up.

It was then that police say Betty Walker fired twice, hitting the dog once and her husband once in the chest. Jackson police spokeswoman Colendula Green says the death of 53-year-old Robert Walker appears to have been accidental.

She says a Hinds County grand jury will decide whether to charge Betty Walker.

Animal control officers have taken the dog, and its owner could face charges.

So, let me get this straight. She shoots at the dog AFTER her husband had picked it up and the police don't see a problem with that?

Things that make you say, "Huh?"

The dog's name is "Cocaine"- I think we all know what kind of trash we're dealing with here.

It could be a respectable trailer park with just a bad apple.

That was my thought as well. You fire a gun directly at someone (oh, so you were only trying to hit/kill the dog that was in your husbands arms?) and it's an "accident"? Just what does it take to get constituted to be even manslaughter - putting the gun to his temple before pulling the trigger? Or, maybe, if she had "accidently" killed an intruder while protecting her home in the middle of the night, then it would be a crime.
