Georgia: Police Enter Wrong Home, Shoot Fellow Officer, Kill Dog 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Georgia, police who entered the wrong home while responding to a
burglary call shot and injured one of their colleagues and the innocent
homeowner, and killed the homeowner's dog. Investigators say three De
Kalb County officers entered the wrong home through an unlocked back
door. Initial reports suggested the homeowner shot and wounded the
officer, Travis Jones, who is African-American. But authorities now say
he was shot accidentally by another officer.
