In Fort Worth, TX, two dogs went for a romp around the neighborhood after a gate in their yard was accidentally left unlatched on September 29. *Bentley, a 2 year old German shepherd and BB, a 9 year old pitbull, were spotted by a Good Samaritan who stopped her car to see if she could coax the dogs to her. *Just then, some nutter pulls up in his SUV, gets out and starts waving a gun around, telling the woman he*s going to shoot the shepherd for killing his cat.
The frightened woman tried to talk the guy down, sympathizing with him for his loss while explaining that the dogs aren*t attacking anyone now, that they are trying to get away, to go home. *The man called her*a stupid bitch at which point she turned back toward the pitbull, whom she was able to get into her car. *She heard 4 or 5 gunshots and saw the SUV speed away. *She called 911, gave a description of the man with the gun and the SUV, then talked with a local resident who had witnessed the shooting. *The witness said she heard the shepherd cry out after the shots and then saw him run away.
Three Ft Worth officers and a Tarrant County sheriff’s deputy responded to the 911 call and interviewed both women.
The Good Sam waited until 9pm to hear from the Ft Worth police department but they never called. *So she called 911 again to follow up and was told the officers had never filed a report.
She spoke with a supervisor. *A few hours later someone from the Ft Worth PD finally called her regarding the shooting. *Investigators came to her house the next morning and had her pick the shooter out of a photo line-up.
The Good Sam learned that Bentley had been found dead and that AC had picked up his remains. *She kept BB at her home and put up flyers in the neighborhood, advertising him as found. *His owner, who had already been to six pounds looking for his lost pets, saw the flyer and called the woman. *She was happy to reunite BB with his owner but also had to tell the man that Bentley had been killed.
The shooter, deputy chief Kenneth Flynn, has been charged with animal cruelty and placed on desk duty while the police department investigates itself. *Police officials refused to say whether the three responding officers are being investigated for their failure to file a report nor would they identify any of them. *But they*re prolly doing the right thing * they*re the police!
The Good Sam,*who had the guts to round up a strange pitbull on the street and get him into her car while a freak with a gun was cussing her out, is too afraid of police retaliation to give her name to the local paper. *Without her perseverance, this crime obviously would have been covered up by dirty cops. *Thank you, Good Sam. *I love that irresponsible public.

The deputy returned a few minutes later to tell the women that Fort Worth police would be handling the case because they had jurisdiction, she said.
“He said the officers has made contact with the man. He works for Fort Worth PD … He said the dog killed his cat and he did nothing wrong,” the woman said. “I said, ‘He fired shots, sir. This is the city limits. He was not on his property.’*”
