An Arkansas sheriff's deputy was fired after shooting a barking chihuahua in the head Friday, an incident officials labeled "disheartening." Faulkner County Sheriff Tim Ryals said in a statement Saturday that deputy Keenan Wallace had been terminated after it was determined there were "numerous opportunities to de-escalate the incident." Cellphone video of the encounter shows Wallace opening fire on the dog -- named Reese's -- within feet of its owner, Doug Canady. Police say the incident began following a call for service for an "aggressive" dog at Canady's home. |
