Arlington<\/a> police officer and a dumpster diver early Tuesday.<\/p>\n Arlington officer shoots dog <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 12:48 a.m. in the 1000 block of Enterprise Place, where Arlington PD says a call came in for a commercial alarm. They arrived to find a van parked near a dumpster outside the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An occupant of the van reportedly told officers that he and his friend were searching the dumpster for scrap metal and other items.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the officers then went around the dumpster to speak to the other man, who was inside the dumpster. A loose dog then reportedly appeared from around the corner of the dumpster, barking and running at the officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer then fired multiple shots at the dog, which was struck and later taken to an emergency vet for treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Neither the officers nor the other men were injured.<\/p>\n
The officers later learned that the dog belonged to the man who was in the dumpster, they say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incident is being investigated by the APD Internal Affairs Unit.<\/p>\n
No charges were filed in connection to the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
The men were not identified in the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The condition of the dog has not been released.\u00a0<\/p>\n
