The documents says Dooley approached the dogs trying to scare them away. One dog laid down and appeared friendly. He says the other dog ran towards him in an "aggressive manner." He said he drew his weapon and pointed it at the dog, which was running towards him. The other dog then jumped up and ran towards him as well. Dooley says he felt "imminent danger" and fired once at the dog. The dog hit the ground and ran off. After inspecting both dogs, the documents say it appeared neither had life-threatening injuries. The dog believed to have been shot appeared to only have a superficial wound on its back.
