A Texas City woman woke Thursday to find one of her horses shot and killed, almost one year after the same thing happened. Damita McNair said it was the day before Easter last year when she found one of her horses shot in the kidney. It had to be euthanized. Thursday, the horse had been shot in the shoulder and was dead when she found it. Neighbors said they heard about a dozen shots fired Wednesday night about 10 or 11 p.m. McNair said stop signs in the area are frequently riddled with bullet holes. One that was recently replaced already has three or four holes in it, she said. "It's spring break," neighbor Ed Haag said. "This could have been a kid running around out here in the dark and they could have shot him." Cruelty to a horse is a state jail felony. Anyone with information should call the Texas City Police Department, 409-643-5760. This story is available through KHOU, Ch. 11's partnership with The Galveston County Daily News. 1 CommentsLeave a comment |
Idiots and guns, never a good combination! I feel for Ms. McNair. To have 2 horses killed within a year of each other is heartbreaking! (It's heartbreaking period!) This is such a sad story. I hope they catch whoever did it, but unfortunatly, unless someone comes forward as a witness, they probably won't. This was such a senseless act! I hope they crack down on that area and people who shoot guns at things for fun!
