Cops sued for killing 'Lucky' the dog
An Omaha woman filed a lawsuit this week against the city and several police officers who killed her dog during a search of her home.
The woman, Colleen Carroll, claims the city owes her at least $250,000 for shooting Lucky Boy, her chocolate-lab mix, without provocation. (The cute puppy to the left is what I imagine LB looked like, but it's not actually him.)
Carroll, who was not arrested or charged with any crimes as a result of the search, described Lucky Boy as "a peaceful family pet" who did not show any aggression toward the officers and was contained to a separate room.
Thanks to the Courthouse News Service for the story.
