A Bryan police officer is on administrative leave following an off-duty shooting incident that killed his neighbor’s dog.

The Bryan Police Department (BPD) told KBTX the officer was off duty when an incident between him and his neighbor’s dog escalated.

“The officer discharged his off-duty weapon, striking and killing the neighbor’s dog,” a statement from BPD reads in part.

BPD has placed the officer, who was not named by the department, on administrative leave while the incident is being investigated.

KBTX spoke with pet parent Gabbie Villanueva, who said her dog was killed on her own property and wants her neighbor held accountable.

“The cops were here, and I went into the back yard, and she was lying in the corner, just lifeless. My grandma actually thought she was sleeping, so we don’t really know what time it happened,” Villanueva explained.
