Waco police still were searching Monday for clues that might lead them to who shot and killed two Boer goats at the Magnolia Silos on Webster Avenue.

Officers were sent to the area Saturday morning after employees at Magnolia reported finding the animals dead when they arrived for work, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Investigators believe the animals were shot sometime between 8 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.

Swanton said it is legal for property owners to keep goats inside the city limits as long as they are not disruptive and they are penned at least 200 feet away from any neighboring residences.

Police have very few leads to follow but Swanton said the investigation is ongoing and anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call Waco police at 750-7500.

Boer goats are a variety of goats primarily raised for meat, but these were pets, Swanton said.
