Actor Angie Harmon has accused a driver for the grocery delivery service Instacart of fatally shooting her family’s dog over the Easter holiday weekend. Harmon, known for her roles in Law & Order and Rizzoli & Isles, shared details of the incident in a viral Instagram post.
The shooting took place at Harmon’s North Carolina home, where the Instacart driver allegedly shot the dog after delivering groceries. The driver claimed self-defense, stating that the dog attacked him, but Harmon disputed this, noting that there was no evidence of an attack on the driver.
The family’s Ring surveillance camera was not operational at the time of the incident, and the driver was reported to have been shopping under a false identity. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department confirmed the shooting, with the deliveryman claiming self-defense. No arrests were made, and no charges were recommended.
In a statement to the Guardian, Instacart confirmed the incident but did not provide further details. The case has sparked outrage and raised questions about the use of lethal force in such situations.
