Cops Go to Wrong Door, Shoot Family Dog
At least their day wasn't wasted
SAN ANTONIO -A local couple says a San Antonio police officer who shot their dog in the jaw early Sunday morning was at the wrong house.
Albert Morales said his brother, Hector Serna, woke him up before dawn after hearing the gunshot and then pounding on his window.
"I thought someone was trying to break in," Serna said, since the officer never identified himself.

I'm surprise the cop didn't get shot.
If I heard a gunshot and someone trying to break in through the window, I would not be inclined to go get myself killed, asking too many questions. A reasonable person in his own home would open fire.
