She was at home with their four children when Ava got cut on a piece of glass. Her sister ran outside to get the house address for 911, but then spotted an officer several doors down and asked him to call for help.

The Ellis' live in Whitehall, but the Columbus police officer was at their neighbor’s house regarding an unrelated issue that had occurred in Columbus.

They say instead of calling an ambulance, the officer decided to walk over to the home to check things out.

Andrea says her sister went back in to corral the family dog, Patches, but the kids opened the door and the dog ran out. As Patches was running in, the officer shot at the dog, but missed, and hit Ava.

The child was shot through her right leg and broke the bone. She's now in a cast up to her ribs.

The officer says the dog charged at him, but Andrea disputes that and claims he just walked away, never spoke or offered help. "Instead of checking on her, he decided it was best to leave,” Andrea recalls. Columbus police tell 10TV the officer never left the scene, but Andrea says the whole ordeal is very vivid in her mind.

Is this a dupe or does this happen that often?

Being comfortable around dogs should be a requirement for being a police officer

I thought the "Oh well" thread was about a woman shot in a similar circumstance.

He was apparently out sick on the day of class where they stated the first rule of dealing with an emergency is to not make things worse.

Did he yell "it's coming right for us" first? If so, it's OK.

Ain't shit gonna happen. Shooting kids is an accepted practice.

What the actual fuck?

I mean, generally in "cop shoots dog" stories there's at least a modicum of plausibility. I can't find any here.

Did I make it in before the LEOs tell us how this is an acceptable practice?

Or maybe everybody should be armed and take responsibility for their own safety, and the police should be tasked with investigating the crime after the fact.

What a fucking idiot! Nevermind maybe using mace first, or kicking the little dog off his ankle. What a pussy!

In cases like this, I wouldn't blame the citizen for shooting back in self defense.

That point seems rather irrelevant when they were asking him to call for an ambulance and not come deal with a criminal.

This causes you to HATE police? Quite the emotional little butterfly, you are.

Sounds like the guy was an idiot, though I'm sure the words of the news story doesn't illustrate how things went down in a way that lends itself to clear understanding. Call the guy a moron, say he's retarded, etc etc, but hate him for it? Ok, drama queen.

Cop completely at fault.

But hard to ignore mom in process of calling 911 because of a cut on her kids arm?

And there was another adult in the house (visiting relative)? A bit of pressure by one of them and off to the ER with the other one driving.

Sounds like herp invited derp and her kid was shot since there was no real perp for derp.

We had a local sheriffs deputy shoot him self while attempting to shoot a "vicious" dog. The vicious dog was shown in the news report to be playing with children after the incident.

Dogs can be vicious to police and other strangers and be a big teddy bear with the family and children.

My neighbor's dog was like that, and I almost shot the dog for it. Thing would full on charge me on my own property.
