Summary

  • Canoga Park police shot and killed Jamison, a Golden Saint Berdoodle, outside the Jordan Condominiums after responding Saturday night to a 911 call about loud voices and a possible domestic dispute.
  • LAPD said the dog exited the apartment and charged an officer after a resident was told to secure it, prompting an officer-involved shooting; Animal Services later took custody of the dog, which died at the scene.
  • Marie Marseille, a nurse watching the Knicks' first NBA title in 53 years, said Jamison slipped outside as she tried to comply and was neither barking nor acting aggressively.
  • More than 2 million views on video of Marseille sobbing over the dog have fueled anger from neighbors, turning the shooting into a wider flashpoint over police conduct.
