A man posted a video allegedly showing police shooting his dog to death as they raided his home.

Mark Reedy, 51, had a camera set up and recording when armed police stormed his home in Delaware.

The footage shows the heavily armed officers entering the home as a dog can be heard barking at them.


A short time later a shot can be heard and the dog falls silent.

Police say Mr Reedy was under investigation for a homicide at the time of the incident, however they have released no further details about the case.

Reedy was arrested on two separate occasions earlier this month on suspicion of domestic assault and received an injunction which required him to turn over weapons in his home to the police.

Police then spotted his car and found weapons in it, leading to Mr Reedy being arrested.

The next day police executed a warrant on Mr Reedy’s address and raided his home, which was captured by a camera left by Reedy.

A police spokesperson said the officers attempted to use ‘less than lethal force’ to subdue the dog at first.

‘The animal became aggressive and lethal force was used as a necessary measure for the safety of the officers,’ the spokesperson added.

When Mr Reedy returned to his home he claims that he found his dog’s dead body on the floor in a pool of blood.

He then circulated images of the dog’s blood and the video seen above on Facebook and Youtube.
