Hasn't Anyone Heard of Knocking?

A DeKalb County, Georgia, police officer went to a home to investigate a possible domestic dispute and shot the family's dog. The officer claimed the dog, which was chained, lunged at him. Homeowners Anthony and Bobbie Currie ran out when they heard the shot, and Anthony says the officer, who wasn't named by local media, pointed his gun at him and threatened to "blow your brains out." It turns out the officer had gone to the wrong house. Officials say the officer faces no disciplinary actions.
