“She had just gotten used to going up and down the stairs so when she heard the first shot she ran to the apartment,” said the owner. She tells us the dog’s name was Adore, she was a 1-year-old American Bully.
The dog ran down the stairs to the front door of her apartment building where it was shot several times. The owner was able to bring the dog inside where her child noticed the dog was shot. It died shortly after.
Police taped off the fifth floor at 279 Centre St. as they investigated the area. There were no human victims found.
The person responsible for firing those shots is still on the loose.
