Reports document other dog shootings by Cookeville police officer


Here's what they reveal. In 1998, officer Hall answered a neighbor's complaint about a so-called dangerous dog. Officer Hall fired twice at the animal, saying he was, in his words, in "grave fear of this animal", when he says it lunged toward him while he was investigating the case. Three years later, in 2001, officer Hall was ordered by a supervisor, to shoot another dog labled as "dangerous" in a Cookeville neighborhood.
