The Puppycide Database Project just received a copy of this video, filmed November 20th 2015, in which officers from the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team raid the home of Mark Reedy and immediately open fire on his dog. Police identify themselves as serving a search warrant several seconds before bursting through the door. Once the police were inside, Mr Reedy's dog turned and ran in the opposite direction. Despite the dog fleeing without having attempted to attack any police, the officers opened fire. While there does not appear to have been any attempt at using non-lethal restraint, however Delaware State Police have claimed that a "less-lethal" beanbag round was fired at the dog prior to opening fire with live rounds. This raid was the culmination of a series of events beginning earlier this month in which Mark Reedy was charged with a variety of crimes by the Smyrna Police Department. The day before this raid, November 19th, Mr Reedy was pulled over by Smyrna Police Department as part of a Writ of Injunction from Kent County Family Court - Reedy alleges that this same day officers from either the Smyrna Police Department or Delaware State Police entered his home without a search warrant, and has provided photographs taken by his some security system that may confirm that search.
