WINCHESTER -- Authorities are looking for a suspect who shot and killed a resident's pet dog in Frederick County Tuesday night.
Officers with the Frederick County Sheriff's Office responded to the 200 block of Boggess Lane for a report of shots fired in the area at about 7:06 p.m., according to Capt. John Heflin. Deputies arrived and the homeowners told officers their Blue Tick hound had been fatally shot, Heflin said Wednesday.
The homeowner said they 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 that may have been 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.
