<\/p>\nCANOGA PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A celebration of the New York Knicks’ NBA championship turned tragic on Saturday in Canoga Park when Los Angeles police officers responding to a call about a screaming woman shot and killed the family dog, authorities and witnesses said.<\/p>\n
The police department says the dog rushed at officers after they were called to check on a woman who was screaming inside a condo building on Jordan Avenue. The dog, Jameson, was a 2-year-old golden retriever, Saint Bernard and poodle mix.<\/p>\n
Cellphone video from the condo building shows the emotional aftermath.<\/p>\n
“Oh my god! Oh my God,” a woman cried. “I cannot believe this is happening. I cannot believe this is happening.”<\/p>\n
The dog’s owner had been celebrating the Knicks’ championship win with her family before the shooting, witnesses said. A photo taken moments before Jameson was killed shows the dog wearing a New York Knicks shirt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“We were just so happy. We were just so happy. We were just celebrating the Knicks. We were f—— celebrating the Knicks,” the woman screamed.<\/p>\n
The incident began just after 8 p.m., when a neighbor asked police to check on a woman who was screaming, according to first responders.<\/p>\n
Video from the Citizen App shows the urgent scene in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Raymon Alvarez, who lives across the street, said he heard the screaming while heading out for a walk.<\/p>\n
“The screaming I heard was like, ‘Ah! Oh my God! Oh my God!’ Like just, pure screaming,” Alvarez said.<\/p>\n
When he returned home, he said he heard gunfire.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t think they were gunshots at first because this area is not really known for any sort of gun violence,” Alvarez said.<\/p>\n
The dog owner’s son told Eyewitness News off-camera that his mother had simply been celebrating the Knicks’ championship win and that Jameson was energetic but not violent.<\/p>\n
“He’s such a good dog!” the woman can be heard screaming in the video from the scene.<\/p>\n
Now, a memorial is growing in the hallway where neighbors watched Jameson die.<\/p>\n
The circumstances that led up to the police shooting are under review.<\/p>\n
