LAPD dog shootings raise questions about police tactics, best practice

Neveah Aguilar was 7 years old when a Los Angeles police officer opened fire on her family's dog inside their Hollywood apartment. She was just a few steps away when Kush, a pit bull, was shot in the jaw.

Almost eight years later, CBS California Investigates has looked into the Los Angeles Police Department's use-of-force reports involving dog shootings. The team found dozens of cases in which officers opened fire, which raised questions about when officers use deadly force against animals and whether some of these shootings could have been prevented.
