From the Daily Mail: "Grandfather and his dog killed in front of wife during 'senseless' park confrontation with another pet owner." The article is rather lacking on facts, but this seems to be the basic story: The decedent, Terry Loden, and his wife were walking their dog in a park in Gainesville, GA, when it got into a fight with a dog owned by Todd Alexander Stalcup. Stalcup drew a firearm and shot Loden's dog and then shot Loden. Per the article: "'He was on top of her pulling her off and about that time, the man just shot my dog, and Terry stood up and said, "Man what are you doing?" And he just shot him,' Cheryle [Loden] recalled." Stalcup has been charged with murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm used in a crime.
Don't be either one of them.
ReplyDelete"Stalcup is in custody at the Hall County jail and isn't eligible for bond, according to jail records. "
(of course not, he's white)
I've seen a couple posts indicating that Loden's dog was a pitbull, which probably means that it attacked Stalcup's dog, and explains why Loden couldn't control the animal.
DeleteThe details of the story don't make sense.
Delete@John: I suspected there was more going on than reported which is why I tried to discover more about the dog breeds. The article didn’t come out and say it, but strongly suggested that one or both dogs were off leash.
