CLEBURNE, Texas — Amanda Henderson and her husband have three dogs. They used to have one more, until he was shot and killed by Cleburne police.

"I see a murder," Henderson said. "I see him murdering my puppy, our family ... our dog."

It was August when police responded to a report of Henderson's pit bulls aggressively roaming the neighborhood. They had escaped from her fenced-in backyard.

One was captured nearly immediately. A police report says when an officer located the other two, they were friendly at first and wagging their tails, until 7-month-old Maximus started growling and coming towards the officer. The officer then shot him.
