Fox 17 reports that Van Buren County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to 55th Street north of Territorial Road in Hamilton Township to follow up on reports of a mini horse that had been shot and killed.
Hamilton Township lies between Lawrence and Decatur.
Police say a witness recalls hearing two gunshots on Wednesday, January 4 at approximately 7:30 p.m. The horse was found dead the next morning, January 5.
It is believed someone likely shot the horse from the road and then took off.
Was it a random shooting? What kind of motive would someone have for shooting a miniature horse?
Hopefully the person who did this is found and punished.
