The beautiful and beloved Pitbull began barking around 5:30 am when the police incorrectly arrived at Anderson's home for "what appeared to be" a domestic disturbance. The police had reportedly went to the wrong address.
"For six years Ian Anderson raised his beloved dog, it took just one second for a police man's bullet to kill him," NBC reporter Omari Fleming lamented.The police had knocked on Anderson's door and when Burberry ran outside, the dog stopped barking as one officer reached down and pet him, Anderson says.
Unfortunately, the other officer on the scene had an extreme reaction to the beautiful grey dog who reportedly worked with children with down syndrome, and began yelling at the animal, demanding that he go inside. The dog became startled, and the officer drew his weapon and ended Burberry's happy life.
"[The officer] jumped back, went this way, drew his weapon," Anderson told NBC. "Boom. Shot right in the head and he was done. He was dead."Anderson laid outside grieving for two hours with the body of his pet, and friend, who had helped him through his anxiety while coping with the loss of his father.
"He was the best dog in the entire world, I would do anything to have him back right now, absolutely anything." Anderson tearfully explained.
Comment: This is the second active shooter in Copenhagen in the last 2 months:
- More terrorism circus? Two dead, five injured in Copenhagen shootings
Is there a concerted effort to spread fear in Europe with these incidents?
