Man shoots neighbor’s dog near Torrey Pines and Vegas drives

A man shot one of two of his neighbor’s dogs that charged at him this afternoon in a neighborhood near Torrey Pines and Vegas drives, according to Metro Police.

The man found the dogs in his yard about noon in the 6500 block of Orchid Hill Circle, and the shooting occurred when he was on his way to tell their owner, Metro Lt. John Liberty said.

The condition of the dog that was struck by gunfire was not immediately known and animal control officers were dispatched, Liberty said. The shooter, who was cooperating with investigators, has a concealed firearms permit, he added.

The investigation remained in its initial stages about 1:30 p.m., Liberty said.
