From The Baltimore Sun

A day after Anne Arundel County police said their investigation into a federal officer who fatally shot a dog in a park had concluded without charges, authorities reversed course and said they would probe further.

The shooting of the brown and white husky named Bear-Bear has outraged animal advocates and pet owners across the county. The Baltimore Sun’s Jill Rosen, author of the Unleashed blog, where you can read much more about this incident, reports that Bear-Bear became entangled in another dog when its owner opened fire in the Quail Run dog park.

The off-duty federal officer has not been identified. But a day after his police force said no crime had been committed, County Executive John R. Leopold said he was “deeply troubled” by the shooting and he ordered the investigation re-opened, calling it a priority.

“This investigation is far from complete,” the county’s police chief James Teare said Wednesday afternoon. “The Police Department takes this very seriously and will continue to investigate all aspects of the case.”
