The off-duty officer and three acquaintances were reportedly standing outside the home when the driver of a passing car fired toward the home. Police say no one was injured in the shooting.
The attack "was deliberate. It was an act of intimidation and we will not tolerate it,” Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman said, in a statement.
According to Tish Clark, a spokesperson for the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department, the officer was hit in the shoulder and is expected to recover. She described the shooting as an "ambush" and said it occurred around 6 a.m. Monday morning as the lieutenant was heading to work.
"Officers determined that the puppy had its head sliced off with a sharpened blade at another location and then the suspects returned the body to the backyard."
A suspect approached Moorer and opened fire, also wounding a woman who was Moore’s “significant other,” Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson said.
Authorities said firefighters responded within minutes of the call and were able to prevent severe fire damage to the home. No one was injured.
The officers and their 10-day-old baby were not injured. They were on the second floor at the time.
The officer and his family say they found their Bengal cat "Capone" cut into two pieces, gutted, and placed directly across the street from their home last weekend.
According to a statement from Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney, Best was not at the residence at the time of the protest, but she described the visit as large, aggressive, and concerning to neighbors.
It was not clear if the men followed the captain home. But the neighborhood is known to be home to many CPD officers. The captain’s squad vehicle was parked outside the house.
