Winston-Salem's incoming police chief Barry Rountree allegedly found himself being confronted by an aggressive dog while responding to a dangerous weapons call, MyFox8 reports. The aspiring new Chief went to shoot the dog, failed, and hit a woman instead after his bullet ricocheted.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. ? The woman shot Wednesday by incoming Winston-Salem Police Chief Barry Rountree says he did not immediately come to help her after she was shot.Watch the video report:?He did not come to me. He backed away,? says Tamara Whitt after being released from the hospital. ?He just backed up and I saw the cell phone come out ? he walked across the street over there by that car over there and he was on his phone ? and I told the SBI he did not come to me.?
Investigators say Rountree shot Whitt in the leg after responding to a dangerous weapon call at 124 North Jackson Ave. around 1:30 p.m, after a 911 caller reported a man was standing on the porch with a large gun pointed at another person.
Rountree and Officer Mohammed Khan, responded to the scene stationing themselves behind Khan?s vehicle.
Whitt, who lives nearby, says her boxer dog ?Lebrone? heard the officers and went down the driveway as she followed.? In a Winston-Salem Police Dept. news release investigators say the dog ran toward Rountree and Khan, acting in an ?aggressive manner.? Rountree attempted to shoot the dog, but his bullet hit the pavement and struck Whitt.
?The dog was closer to me than the officer, that?s where this whole thing is just out of hand,? said Whitt who questions why Rountree fired his gun while she was near the dog. ?I wasn?t expecting the gun to be fired because I was right there.? Whitt also says her dog is ?very passive? and ?not aggressive.?
According to police, the round struck the pavement ricocheted and bullet fragments struck Whitt. Whitt says the entire 40 caliber bullet is inside her left thigh and doctors say it?s too dangerous to remove.
Whitt says officer Khan immediately radioed for help and came to her aid, but it wasn?t until after Rountree finished his phone call that he walked over to ask if she was ok.
?I just hope that the SBI does a good investigation and really sees if he really deserve to be our police [chief] because I honestly thought that was a rookie mistake.?
Lebrone -?the family dog, is ok and in the custody of Forsyth County Animal Control.
Since this report came out, the chief's fellow government employees in the SBI who "investigated" the incident quickly found him not guilty (shocker), meaning he will officially be Winston-Salem's new police chief!

The pig chief should be shot in the balls. The dog was doing his job but the pig chief was not. If it was me SWAT would have had to be called and there would be blood shed. F*ck this country's Fascist cops and politicians, time to go to war! YOU GOD DAMNED ROOKIE. SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY. ON TO THE NEXT COUNTY YOU INCOMPETENT JACK WAGON Reptilian's are afraid of dogs. Or is it reptile brains? She seriously wanted him to come "help" her after he just shot her? Please sir give me another. In the "let them know who's boss and scare the daylights out of the citizens program," Chief Rountree only gets one point for this shooting. Missed the dog entirely, and only got a bank shot on the woman. He needs to practice.
Maybe give him another half a point for style though, since he was cool enough to not let such a trivial matter distract him as he stepped across the street to check on if his lotto ticket was a winner. I want every cop to know this: you shoot my dog you die. This is that simple. Many people think like me. So if you contenplate shooting any dog you might have better to reconsider because it might cost your live in the end. May be it would be simpler just to shoot yourself in the head instead? They best kill me first. Once I see my dogs dead I'll dump ng into the house and blow the fuckin' whole block to hel! Cross-eyed shooting causes collateral damage
