BONTEHEUWEL AVENUE: DOG SHOT DURING POLICE RAID
Family wants answers TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
A
Bonteheuwel family wants to know if police officers are above the law following the death of their two-year-old dog, Skyler who was shot during a police raid. Ashley Adams says he cannot understand
why police are shooting animals when there are bigger issues in the community which need attention. Skyler was shot when the Anti-Gang unit and other police officers stormed into their home on Sunday 12 January. It’s alleged that a gang-related shooting took place in Bonteheuwel Avenue at around 11:00.
An hour later there was a police raid. “These officers want to shoot at innocent dogs and not gangsters. I don’t understand why they came and shot at my dog who never did anything to them.” According to reports, Adams’s dogs attacked police during the search, but he denied these claims as he said the family’s three dogs were on a leash. “One dog is a
pavement special, the other a Rottweiler and then Skyler who was a mix-breed Rottweiler. They never did anything to the police officers. I still want to know why they shot at my dogs?” While speaking to TygerBurger at their home, his wife, Nicole, explained the events which led up to the shooting. V To page 2.
