From the Justice for Vinny Facebook page. Now I am livid......
Tonight there was a travesty of justice right outside the small town of Liberty Hill.
My family and I were settling in for a peaceful evening. Our 6 year old terminally ill grandchild was sitting at the picnic table by our back door. I had just stepped out of the shower and went to my office to relax for a few minutes. Three shots rang out and I ran to the front door only to see a man dressed in black with a gun. My husband Chris ran up and started yelling that he had shot our dogs. I yelled at him who the **** are you and the man did not answer.
I then ran through the house and saw both Vinny and Roxy our Shepard's standing in the kitchen looking frightened and dazed.
I immediately thought that he had shot my service dog Sadie Mae or our neighbors dog Daisy as the GSD's looked OK at first glance.
I panicked thinking that I was going to find my service dog dead. I tore back out of the house yelling at my husband where was Sadie and Daisy. That's when my husband told me that the guy shot the Shepard's.
The officer said that they charged him. They always run to the gate to greet anyone and they are both overly social.
The officer was in all black and I did not immediately realize that he was with the police. I asked what the F**K he was doing coming into my yard and he said he was there to serve a warrant. We have been here nearly nine years and no one by that name had ever resided here. He was at the wrong house.
I called 911 to get police protection from our county but alas that was not going to happen. The Williamson County deputies came out and we were expecting an investigation...
What we did not realize was that an investigation was not going to happen.
My neighbor started yelling that he thought he had hit one of the dogs. He had been in his yard hanging laundry when the incident happened. So I ran back in to check again and my grandson came up to me screaming that Vinny was bleeding and his hands were covered in blood.
Vinny had a bullet wound in the back of his neck. When my husband Chris and I started to run Vinny to the emergency vet in Round Rock they told us one of us would have to stay behind to talk to an investigator.
My neighbor rode with me and held Vinny in the back seat on the ride. Vinny is recovering but his future is not certain. he has a long road back to health and may suffer the effects of this for the rest of his life.
My husband called Williamson County and said he wanted a copy of the police report as no one had even come in and checked the cartridges or crime scene. He was told that no report was made that they only came out as the officer had requested backup as my husband and neighbor was yelling at him.
That is a blatant lie as I was the one to call them and request help with a gun crazed officer. He called no one for backup, I made that call.
So everyone decided to just go on their merry way and do nothing at all.
My daughter came home and was appalled when she found out what had happened to Vinny. But she was more so when she found out that her son was outside at the time of the shooting and that was the direction in which the shots had been fired. I would definitely call that careless behavior child endangerment.
My husband even asked the officer didn't you see the swing set and the clubhouse sitting in the middle of the yard. It was not like he could not tell that there could be children in the yard.
She contacted the FBI and asked for help. Although they can not get directly involved they knew who could. So after her call officers from Williamson County, Liberty Hill & Leander appeared and told my husband that it was going to be treated as a crime scene.
About time!
We will have to wait and see what happen tomorrow but we are not going to give up on Justice for our Vinny.
Or for our grandson who is having nightmares over the entire event.
We feel blessed that Vinny is doing as well as he is and even more blessed that our grandson Landon did not get struck down by a misfired bullet.
Keep in mind that three shots were fired and only one hit our dog. We have yet to find out where the other two are.
