Allegations:
Andrew and Rita Brown were at home with their four minor children and the family dog, Sluggo, when officers broke down the door to the residence with their weapons drawn. Officer Triplett fired shots blindly into Andrew Brown's bedroom, striking and wounding him, then aimed his gun inches from Sluggo's face and fired. Sluggo died shortly after the shooting, and Andrew Brown was arrested. None of the officers attempted to intervene or make an effort to save the dog's life.
