“Residents are also upset because the shooting occurred not far from a preschool, on a street where pedestrians including children could have been hurt. Police were writing a parking ticket for a van belonging to Al Phillips, so Phillips came out to move the vehicle. My little bull terrier followed me out,’ Phillips explains. ‘Then, all I hear is boom! Boom! Two shots. You shot the dog!’ While FOX 32′s Larry Yellen was interviewing the dog’s owners, two police officers drove by the home. 90 minutes later, they came back, asked why Phillips why he had contacted the media and gave him a ticket for not keeping Colonel on a leash.”
