500-Pound Pig Shot In Spokane Valley
A 500-pound pig was shot to death by a Washington State Patrol trooper in Spokane Valley this afternoon after escaping a van and absorbing several Taser shocks. Trooper Morgan Mehaffey saw the pig running down the sidewalk near North Pines Road and East Mission Avenue after spotting a van driving erratically with its back window broken out. The driver got out to corral the animal, which had escaped through a broken back passenger window, but it knocked her down and ran, Mehaffey said. Three men at a nearby gas station asked Mehaffey if he had a tow rope. “I said, ‘No. I have bullets,’” Mehaffey said/Meghann Cuniff, SR. More here.
Question: Did the officer who shot the pig handle the situation properly?
