Duane R.

Bossier Sheriff's deputies say Flores shot the canine with a .22 rifle because he did not want it mating with his pit bull.
Witnesses say they heard two distinct shots and after the second shot, the dog, a one-year-old mixed breed named Buck, yelped. When Bossier Sheriff's deputies arrived, the dog was throwing up blood and appeared to have a gunshot wound to his side. Buck was taken to an animal emergency center, but damage was so severe, he was euthanized.
