WINCHESTER -- Authorities are looking for someone who shot and killed a Frederick County resident's pet dog Tuesday night.
Frederick County deputies responded to the 200 block of Boggess Lane for a report of shots fired in the area at approximately 7:06 p.m., according to Capt. John Heflin. Deputies arrived and the homeowners told officers their blue tick hound had been shot dead, Heflin said Wednesday.
The homeowner heard a vehicle leaving the area around the time of the incident, according to Heflin.
Deputy T. Renner, an animal control officer, is investigating the matter. Heflin said authorities are not releasing information at this time about the type of firearm possibly used in the shooting.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 662-6162 or Crime Solvers at 665-TIPS.
