Filer, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV ) A Filer Police Officer shot a man's dog over the weekend, sparking outrage across Southern Idaho and gaining national attention.

Saturday afternoon Filer Police Officer Tarek Hassani responded to a call of dogs at large in a neighborhood. After arriving at the home where the dogs lived, he was approached by the dogs, and used lethal force on a black lab he claims was acting aggressive. Word of the incident spread quickly, and now the city is taking action after initially claiming it was a closed case.

The City of Filer asked the Twin Falls Police Department to investigate, however because of a conflict of interest, they are looking for another outside agency to handle the situation. Mayor Dunn tells us Officer Hassani has been placed on administrative leave until the issue is resolved.
