According to a police report, the dog's owner told officers that she got off the elevator with her dog and was walking to her apartment "when she heard a loud bang." The dog then ran down the stairs and she said she heard two bangs.

"She then grabbed her dog and made her way into her apartment and that is when she realized her dog had been shot," police said.

The woman said she didn't see the person who shot her dog, according to the report. Police found shell casings and two "ballistic fragments" at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police detectives at 617-343-5628.
