video<\/a> shows her yelling out the name Jeremiah. Her family said she was yelling out the name of her son, who was on the phone in a video chat with her when the shooting happened.<\/p>\nThe Los Angeles Police Department said in a written statement that the shooting occurred Saturday shortly before 9 p.m. in the 7500 block of Jordan Avenue.<\/p>\n
Police said officers responded to a call about a \u201cscreaming woman\u201d and were directed to an apartment unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe officers contacted the resident in the apartment unit; while speaking with the resident, a large dog was by her side barking at the officers,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThe officers asked her to secure the dog, and the resident closed her door momentarily. She re-opened the door, and the dog exited the apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n
LAPD said officers shot the dog when it charged at one of them.<\/p>\n
In the video, neighbors can be heard angrily admonishing police officers for killing the dog while the woman, identified as Marie Marseille, held the animal, crying.<\/p>\n
Marseille could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
In a phone interview with The Times, the dog owner\u2019s sister, Vanessa Marseille, said the family was shocked and devastated over the shooting death of the dog, Jameson.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just don\u2019t know why it happened,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat\u2019s more scary is that those shots could have hit her or anyone. It was reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marseille said her sister told her that she was closing the door when Jameson got out and was shot multiple times. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just tragic,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Marseille said her sister was born and raised in New York and left for California in 2014 for work.<\/p>\n
Two years ago, she said, her sister purchased Jameson.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was the oldest of seven puppies,\u201d Vanessa said, recalling. \u201cHe\u2019s quiet and energetic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vanessa said the dog was always with her sister or nephew.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time on FaceTime with Jeremiah, he\u2019s always walking the dog,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen he takes my sister to work, Jameson is in the car, wagging his tongue.\u201d<\/p>\n
At home, she said, her sister and Jameson had their own routine.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore he eats his food, they pray together,\u201d she said. \u201cThat was her second son.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Police Department said no officers were hurt in the incident, and the Force Investigation Division is investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A celebration of the New York Knicks\u2019 NBA championship ended in tragedy for a Canoga Park woman this…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":870032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[14248,1582,276,1441,24655,354103,94825,2961,4530,224,5337,354104,3122,4531,7981,11449,101,6613,989,11459],"class_list":["post-870031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-apartment-complex","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-championship","tag-dog","tag-family-dog","tag-jameson","tag-la","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-marie-marseille","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-officer","tag-police-officer","tag-resident","tag-shooting","tag-sister","tag-video","tag-woman"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116757100800028430","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
