ANN ARBOR, Mich. (WXYZ) — A family in Ann Arbor is mourning the loss of their dog, who was shot and killed in a break-in attempt early Sunday morning.
Police tell us the confrontation happened just after 4 a.m. this morning, at a home in the 1800 block of Weldon Boulevard.
The suspect, described as wearing all black, tried breaking into a vehicle in the driveway of the home before turning violent.
“We were asleep, it was around 4 in the morning, we heard a noise," said homeowner Glenn Kime.
Kime said that he and his wife didn't think much of it, when a bullet hit their home early Sunday morning.
“It didn't sound to my sleeping self like a gunshot," Kime said. "It was like a bunch of lumber being dropped, we went back to sleep, didn't hear anything else until 6 a.m."
That's when Kime, who lives on the 1700 block of Waverly right near the home of the shooting, said police knocked on his door and gave him the news.
"One bullet passed 6 foot from where my wife was sleeping through my bedroom," Kime said.
