Of course, the sound was echoing off the surrounding buildings and it was 1:00 AM our time so that had something to do with the sound. The reason the police shot so many times was the first two shots didn't kill the animal right away, and they may have been trying to avoid hitting the head so the carcass could be examined later to be sure if it had rabies. The animal starting moving toward the officers after the first shots..that's when they shot about four more times I think. At least the poor thing is finally out of it's misery.Blondihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354576661350425058noreply@blogger.com
