Police: Rock Hill man 

shoots neighbor's barking dog

From Staff Reports - The Herald

ROCK HILL -- 

A Rock Hill man shot his neighbor's dog with a BB gun, even though the animal was in its own yard.

The man said he shot at his neighbor's dogs earlier this week because they were jumping up on the fence and barking viciously, according to a York County Sheriff's Office report. However, the dogs never came out of the fence or approached the man.

One dog had a BB stuck on the left side of its snout that will likely have to be removed by a veterinarian, deputies say.

The dogs' owner said they are guard dogs but have never been out of the fence at his Hilton Road home. He said he had to put one of his dogs down several months ago because of a BB wound.

The shooter said the dogs were scaring his granddaughter. He said they are a continuous problem and have gotten out twice before.

The owner wanted to press charges, but an arrest was not made at the time of the report.
