The dog's owner and witnesses watched in horror. Neighbors say they were frightened after they heard gunfire so close to their homes.Officers blocked off a small area after the FBI said a special agent had shot another dog."As I was coming up to the window is when I heard the bang," a man said.
Police say the agent was walking her dog when, she told them, another dog started attacking hers. That's when, police say, she shot and killed the other dog."As I came closer, there was a lot of commotion and the woman was laying on the floor sobbing with the dog and at that point, I kind of ran inside for a little bit," Krisa Halasy said."By the time I came back out the police had shown up, they lifted the dog into a car and people were trying to figure out what happened.
