A masked gunman reportedly shot and killed a dog and fired at the dog’s owner Saturday during an apparent burglary in Woodland. Police hope the public can help them find a person of interest in the case.
Woodland police were dispatched at about 3:15 p.m. Saturday to a home at 9553 Old Pacific Highway, according to a news release from the Woodland Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found the victim’s black Lab dead in the shop on the property. The dog sustained what appeared to be gunshot wounds, police said.
The 59-year-old victim told police that he woke up when he heard gunshots in his shop, and when he went to investigate, the suspect, who was wearing a bandana, fired at the victim but missed, according to the news release. The burglar likely fled on foot, police said.
