Wrong-house shooting: Not the first time call for help ends in death
2:21 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015
On Monday three Dekalb police officers responded to a report of a burglary in progress and entered the wrong home. In a bizarre turn of events, officers shot an unarmed homeowner, killed his dog, and wounded a fellow officer, according to authorities.
The shooting underscores how a 911 call for help can end with the death of a resident.
Of the Georgians fatally shot by police since 2010, more than a third were killed at home.
