CAMPBELL — A Campbell man is due in court June 17 on several charges in the shooting death of his neighbor’s dog.

Dustin M. Shamp, 30, of 224 Tremble Ave., was indicted Thursday by a Mahoning County grand jury on charges of cruelty to animals, a fifth-degree felony, and discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.

He is due for arraignment before a Mahoning County Common Pleas Court judge June 17. Court records do not yet indicate which judge will hear the case.

Shamp first was arraigned in the March 1 incident in Campbell Municipal Court after being arrested on a charge of discharging a firearm within city limits, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.

The case was set for a pretrial hearing May 30 but was bound over to the grand jury. The misdemeanor firearms charge, for which Shamp was originally charged, was dismissed and replaced with the new firearms charge.

The Campbell police report states Shamp’s neighbor and the neighbor’s two young daughters let their dogs out to do their business around 6 p.m. Within seconds, the neighbor heard a gunshot, then heard his daughters and one of his dogs screaming.

The report states that Shamp fired as many as five shots, with at least three striking the dog, named Bruno, who later died of his injuries at an emergency vet center in Girard.

The report states that the veterinarians told police Bruno, a “pocket pity” never behaved aggressively in their care. His owner said he paid $4,200 for the dog.

The report states that the severely wounded Bruno tried to hide under a van in Shamp’s yard as Shamp continued to fire at him. As Bruno sought refuge, the family’s other dog, Ladybug, in a panic, started to attack him and their owner had to pull her off before he could get to Bruno.

The report states he told police his daughters repeatedly yelled at Shamp to stop, and Shamp continued to shoot at Bruno even while the man’s daughter was trying to attend to him. The girl was within 15 feet of Bruno while Shamp fired more shots at him, the report states.

The first shots were fired while the girls were in the back yard with the dogs. The report states that Shamp claimed self-defense, telling police Bruno charged and was snarling at him, but evidence from an investigation by Campbell humane officer Jim Conroy shows that Bruno was in his own yard, posing no threat to Shamp, when the shooting began. The report states that no shell casings were found in the area where Shamp told police he was standing when he shot Bruno.

The report states that there is a 40-foot vacant lot between Shamp’s property and Bruno’s owners’ property, and that Bruno only started running toward Shamp’s van after the shooting started.

The report states that a woman who was staying in Shamp’s house told police she saw him shoot Bruno and that the dog was not posing a threat to him at the time, and she repeatedly shouted at Shamp to stop shooting.
