DETROITWayne State authorities have actually cleared the officer who shot a dog in the mouth over the weekend after the bodycam video revealed the animal charging him, roaring, and barking.

That dog endured the shooting.

Wayne State authorities Chief Anthony Holt informed Local 4 that while it’s regrettable the officer needed to fire his weapon, after examining the tape and talking to witnesses, the department has actually figured out there was no other option.

The last time WSUPD shot a dog remained in 1985.
