'Did you just shoot my dog?' Actress Angie Harmon speaks after delivery person allegedly shoots dog 

So she knows the person is coming over to drop off groceries, fails to secure multiple dogs, doesn’t want to entertain the possibility that her dog became aggressive, takes no responsibility for what happened and now blames Instacart for the entire thing. Wow. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Angie Harmon and don’t blame this man for shooting that dog. I guess it’s the American way to blame everyone else for your problems. Pathetic

I have a dog and he stays inside the house when a delivery is coming. Why was her dog outside. The is the fault of the owner. She controls the narrative not the driver and not the dog.

This is pure negligence on the owners behalf.

Secure your dog(s) when your expecting a delivery!

Some people are terrified of dogs! Keep your dogs inside! This is ridiculous!

As a dog owner, and knowing that my dogs will do anything to protect me… my personal opinion is that if you order delivery, you should keep your dogs inside- insta cart, amazon, Uber will give you a time the items are being delivered, be ready and track it. If I was delivering I would be thinking about my safety, just saying be responsible and understand that dogs will protect you and they do not know about the delivery lol

Anybody who has sympathy for Ms. Harmon are out of their GD minds!!!! LOCK YOUR DOG UP!!! How many times have we heard stories of dogs being ‘good’, but they kill babies, kids, old people, etc etc. LOCK YOUR DOGS UP WHEN EXPECTING STRANGERS; you can’t predict dog behavior or other people responses to dogs!!! Please dismiss that frivolous lawsuit….👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾‼️‼️‼️

Why was the dog not confined while expecting a delivery? Dogs are territorial and will bark aggressively at a stranger. Male or female. Maybe sometimes more aggressive at a male person coming onto its property. Some people are scared of dogs and have been bit before or weren't raised around dogs. And some people think a barking dog is attacking them when in reality it is just barking Because that is what dogs do too strangers.

U called a delivery service not a delivery person…it don’t matter who u talked too on the phone as long as they came with your order, no different than a pizza delivery man…how about u ask the question why was your dog outside without a leash?

😢I completely understand what they're going through. I'm a 71 year old widow and I have to order my groceries because of my age and health issues. I've had instacart claim the order had been delivered and it wasn't, I've ordered food and discovered that the name of the person that was supposedly coming was not that person at all! Jerk said he tried calling them, I'd make him prove it. Praying for the family's recovery from the grief👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

Actually, I have had delivery persons from amz, insta, food, etc arrive that were Not the person in the picture. It happens on ride apps as well. I no longer use any of those services. Clearly the people and their registrations are not monitored properly.

She definitely has surveillance cameras at her house so it will be easy to prove if the dog didnt attack. Im guessing the reason why the tape wasnt provided for this major network interview is because the tape will show the dogs' behavior which they want to keep secret.

Why didn't Instacart verify if the customer has animals? This should be policy. Utility companies do, real estate agents do. Creeps me out the delivery guy had a loaded gun.

Lock your dogs away when having a delivery. "My dog wouldn't bite anyone" is usually bull and most people haven't a clue about their own pets or animal behavior.

You dont have to wait for a animal to attack you before you defend yourself. She knew a stranger would be showing up to her door and she didn't put her dogs away. Its not the mans fault her animal decided to attack him

So the dog has to bite first before you defend yourself.

I'm not a cop, but I played one on TV. My badge cam was turned off that day.

Apparently there was no surveillance footage, and they claim the delivery driver knew he wasnt being recorded. Hard to know the truth, but i still think he should have just not delivered the package if he was so scared of the dogs. Instacart immediately suspended him from the platform afterwards, so they apparently agree. The police basically didnt have enough evidence, so no charges. Very surprised they didnt have any working surveillance.

Well, I’m sad that the dog was killed but I can understand the delivery person’s fear. My daughter delivered for Amazon and was bit. On many of her deliveries she said she would not deliver the packages because people would leave their dogs out and claim they were harmless.

Hard to know the layout of the situation, but my delivery people call from their cars when they arrive, and I put my dog away if I'm expecting any stranger on my property. Hope people learn from this and no more dogs or people get hurt.

How can there not be Security Video Footage showing what's happening in front of that expensive House?

Getting attacked by a 20 lb dog, and your first response is deadly force?

Sad and horrible! What a nightmare. Poor dog… hope her daughter stops blaming herself.

Sounds like the dog was outside loose and unattended. A dog should never be outside without a leash especially if they're expecting a delivery. If the dog was not aggressive as they claim it would show in surveillance footage. I don't blame the delivery guy for being armed as delivery persons have been attacked and even murdered before, however, it sounds like he was using someone else's account instead of setting up one himself.

I have a 7 pound 15 year old poodle who has never bitten anyone. With that said you should always contain your dogs. Not the dogs fault it’s the owners.

People who don't see their dogs as family members, will never understand her feelings. Delivery men here in Germany don't carry guns in the first place, and they do not simply enter your yard.

It's bad enough these delivery drivers are scrambling house to house to scratch out a living, can you imagine how traumatic and stressful it is for delivery people to have to deal with vicious dogs as well? Now, she's out on a mission against hard working people, because her success evidently made her lose touch with real people's lives. Heartless how dogs are valued over real people who feel so vulnerable in our crime ridden world, they're compelled to carry guns.

Her and her kids are some really good actress...

CONTROL YOUR DOG!!! There is a leash law in every city

The shooter messed with someone with clout.

3:44 “I order 5 Amazon packages a day and there’s never a problem”😂

Ahhhh , what is wrong with people? How ridiculous! Sorry for your loss ❤

1). If that delivery guy was afraid of THAT dog, he’s a spineless wimp. It’s a tiny yapper, couldn’t have done any harm. 2). People seem to be missing the point. The delivery person WAS NOT the same person portrayed on the app. That’s problematic and fraudulent.

Would he has shot a person that scared him?? what a coward!!!

This lady is a Karen!

If one is ordering packages, you must successfully secure your animals. The interviewer is asking if the dog had a violent past. That’s irrelevant and unknown to the deliverer. One doesn’t have to wait to be physically attacked before taking a stance. Condolences for the loss of their dog, but accountability is missing.

Keep your dog put up or on a leash and they won't get popped💯 I probably wouldn't have popped THAT dog but each person is different and their experiences with dogs are different as well🤷🏽‍♂️

Is there no surveillance video on their property?

Why are insta cart drivers showing up to deliveries with guns. HE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND BANNED

There's so much terrible things happening all over the world.. And a.dog gets the front page..... news....🤬

"I order 5 Amazon packages a day" the entitlement syndrome of this "family" is laughable..

lots of people have guns in my neighborhood. i assume the dog was off leash in a yard and i wouldnever have my dog outside unleashed if i was expecting delivery as lots of people do not have good experiences with dogs and have fears of them.

I love dogs but this guy was justified in defending himself from an attack. People need to train their dogs better or keep them away from strangers. Its common sense folks!

Before this incident, I wonder what Angie's position has been on a man pretending to be a woman.

How could the police close the case? He showed up at her property armed. Instacart says they dont allow it. It was supposed to be a woman. Angie is a celebrity and would not intentionally let an armed younger man deliver her food. He had no botes or torn clothes so police had zero evidence that he was attacked. He was a trigger happy guy afraid of dogs. So he shouldnt be doing that job. He had that weapon for that purpose which is premeditated. He had intent to use it on his job. Poor Angie and her family.

Angie Harmon doesn’t have cameras in front of her home?

I’ve had a man draw a gun on my dog and I after he assumed the dog was trying to attack him when he WAS NOT. I understand both sides, and it’s a true tragedy. You don’t know what kind of dog you’re dealing with, or the type of people you’ll encounter when you’re out and about with your dog, but if he WAS NOT ATTACKED NOTICEABLY, and he has a gun, why not wait till serious damage was done to use so instead of jumping the literal gun? But also on the flip, why would she not put her dogs away when receiving orders? It’s a twisted, weaved web of a world we live in.

She is 100% responsible for not controlling her animal.

This man doesn't know your animal and the animal doesn't know him, lock up all pets when expecting deliveries to avoid any incidents. Animals can be very protective of their owners and land and a dog doesn't know you are having deliveries made all they see is potential danger. smdh Def the owners fault here....

Just because you love your dogs and think they’re an “angel”, don’t mean they won’t go bipolar and suddenly attack a random stranger. There are ppl too who don’t like dogs and may have a childhood trauma with one.

Kristi Noem

I understand she probably should have put the dogs away but come on! His life wasn't in danger there was no reason to shoot the dog! He shot and killed the dog because he didn't want to get bitten thats ridiculous!

I think that it's possible that Merle is an AI or customer service rep. If so, it's possible that she's going to lose the case from the profile aspect. It's also possible that somebody with an instacart is hiring other people for lower pay to deliver...so she might win there. From the dog aspect, she will lose. It's clearly self defense. No court is going to believe that this delivery driver is going around serial killing dogs for no reason. Dogs harassing and attacking people is as normal as being thirsty on a hot day.

That driver would no longer be driving anymore if you catch my drift.

💔

No one should needlessly suffer a dog attack for the sake of not harming a dog. People need to get some perspective in life, though I doubt that will happen in this day and age.

Thank you for this excusive interview with a beautiful rich white woman celebrity telling us her troubles. My heart is utterly shattered.

Why because there famous it’s national news when it’s a random person it’s not in the news just drama from famous people

Barbara Gordon #2 from "Batman Beyond!" 🤣🤣😂😂

Wow, people who cannot handle dogs should never be delivery people. My dad showed me as a child how to deal kindly with dogs. He always said….as the human “you can always outsmart a dog”. And, if we’re not taught to handle dogs, ever hear of a phone to call their owners, but instead one could not think of anything anything anything but to shoot. So, yet another person who is not smarter than an animal in this country. Better not come on my place as I have 180 lb guardian dog who just barks to chase predators away from chickens. I live in the country where we ALL have outside dogs. You just have to figure it out, and get lessons if you cannot.

This is a story????

I've heard of celebrities having their cats killed if they don't comply with threats and demands.. This looks similar.

Was the dog attacking the driver.

Crazy to see what money can buy you. Not saying this doesn’t suck… but hardly national newsworthy.

She’s rich does she not have security footage?

Can you guess whom the shooter will vote for in November?

Is she serious? She’s suing the company AND the delivery guy? I’m actually so sorry for the dog because he’s been the victim of her negligence. If you expect a delivery, your dog should be kept inside until the delivery is made. Even if your property is fenced (and it would have been a good thing to mention if the place was fenced or not because the negligence is even worse if there’s no fence), your dog should be inside or you should be at least with him outside and control it. In my country, the law is you have to control your dog in all circumstances, all the time. You can’t leave it alone in the garden (fence or no fence). She’s the one who would be legally held responsible if it happened in my country. Instacart or the delivery guy aren’t responsible, even if the delivery guy could have just left the package on the sidewalk instead of rushing to the porch when he saw the dog was getting aggravated by his presence-of course, running toward the home was the opposite of the right thing to do because 99% of dogs will react to that because it’s abnormal behavior and it feels threatening to them and you’re going toward them and their home. But well, you can’t expect every delivery person to be familiar with dog communication and how to deescalate a tense situation. They also shouldn’t have to deal with your dog because you can’t be bothered to have some respect for them and put your dog inside in case the delivery person is fearful of dogs. Especially since any dog, and I really mean any dog, can bite someone depending on the situation, his health, the behavior of the person, etc. I’ll concede that it’s not normal for a delivery person to carry a gun and he might be sued by the company for that, especially since it’s in the guidelines, but she really can’t expect the guy to wait until he’s been bitten before defending himself. And he doesn’t need bite marks or torn clothes to prove that the dog tried to attack him. I actually hope he sues her for putting him at risk when she knew that someone was coming to deliver a package. This is so irresponsible and I say that as a dog owner. You can’t act like that when you have a dog, for their safety and for everyone else’s safety.

@pearle3777 0 seconds ago The man purposely got out the car aggressively with off leash dogs. He saw a nice upscale house and most likely decided to take advantage. Hence coming out with his gun drawn. He even said I’ve been texting and calling you to come get your dogs. If the home you are delivering to isn’t answering and you see the dogs . Take a picture of the dogs and show why you can’t deliver and move on to your next order. It’s that simple. The man seemed to be looking for trouble.

Maybe Insta-Cart can deliver a them a New Dog?

As a ACO FOR 27 years the biggest excuse I always heard why my dog would never bite anyone ! and many many times I had to tell the owner well they sure did today now didn’t it!

tried to hurry up and run on the porch? get back in your car! people that are saying he should have shot the dog are intense. the dog died!

would be really helpful if ABC showed us the security footage. It would have totally vindicated Harmon. Celebs like Harmon shouldn't be reliant on an offshore app company that sends random people to her house unvetted.

Yeah, but did he get her Botox refills safely to the door?

Poor little babies... living in a fantasy world.

I don't understand why the interviewer didn't ask her, "why the dog wasn't put away until the food was delivered?" I am not swayed by those tears, from anyone of them. Common decency is to put your animals away out of respect for your delivery drivers safety. They didn't care that the driver didn't feel safe, they only care about their narrative which is UNBELIEVEABLE to me. Her daughter said they have items delivered multiple times a day. That's even worse and it shows just how entitled and disconnected from other people they really are. They don't care about their delivery drivers or anyone else. They are stuck in a bubble of delusion, typical Hollyweird.

😓

Wow workers unite! These rich people don't consider us workers the same as them. Our lives are expendable. Also they are showing pictures of the dog when it was a puppy to invoke sympathy. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS!!!

Uhhh... Wtf

So sick of entitled, irresponsible dog owners blaming innocent people for defending themselves against their loose animals.

What some people do not understand is these animals are in the family. You may not agree the acceptance of them and love they are getting but they are somebody from the family for some. It should be threated as close to human crimes as possible. If this was a self defence thats fine no crime but if that dog died because an idiot is afraid of dogs than it is a murder. His life is not more important than my dogs life.

But why

That's perfectly acceptable you need to respect his gender identity and his pronouns😂😂

Someone deleted my comments?

Complete joke. So you have to wait until it actually bites you. The woke logic mentality

You're trespassing when you deliver my packages and how dare you shoot my dog for trying to chew on you! BE GONE PEASANT!

🤔 Did the dog 🐶 attack the driver. It’s painful to lose your pet. Dogs will bark and attack strangers. But since you are an famous person 🧍 sad 😢 it’s in the News 🗞️

Governor Kristi Noem must’ve sent the driver!

Harmon, while I don't agree with your politics, you have my sympathies. If that guy was so scared of a small dog "attacking" him to the point where he had to take out his little pew pew, he really shouldn't have left the crib. There are many people who support his actions, then again they are often the same people who would take you for stepping one foot on their property. If the dogs demonstrated no aggressive behavior in the past and got along well with every single other delivery that happens multiple times a day, there is no reason to think this was any different. He was probably just scared, cowering behind his 2nd Amendment and couldn't fathom the idea of shooting in the air, at the grass, really any place other than the dog's vitals that would have instantly deter it. I've seen a lot of videos of people claiming "self defense" from a dog and they were just pathetic.

Bad 🐕

oh, it was terrible, so gut-wrenching, so dramatic....but then again, she's an actress, so playing a part comes naturally to her.

She shouldn't be allowed to own a pet. She is negligent and irresponsible as well as ignorant. If she truly cared about the dog she would have had it someplace safe as well as trained. No one should have to wait to be attacked by an uncontrolled vicious animal to defend themselves. The nerve to post this interview after the Mother's Day attack on that mother who was killed in front of her children by vicious uncontrolled dogs in Georgia, very poor taste.🤢

I get this family is very entitled, but I very much doubt it was necessary for this guy to shoot the dog. Bet this had a lot to do with resentment. Hard to believe there isnt security cameras, would want to see them to form a real opinion. Think about it though, the guy wasnt bit or anything… it sounds like he had his gun out while bringing the package up?! If you feel the need to have your firearm out why didnt he just not deliver the package…? Its not like with police where they NEED to go on to the property to make an arrest, this guy could have just left and told his employer he couldn’t deliver it due to the dogs. That alone makes me think he should be charged for this, and have his carry permit revoked.

Is she trying to reactivate her acting career?

the daughter on harmons left looks like jason sehorn with long hair with makeup on

This is definitely a sad story. The dog never showed aggression to them or their family/friends. Some dogs seem to bark at people w darker skin tones. Not all dogs, but it has happened to me & it's one of the many reasons they should have had their dogs put away for the safety of all parties involved.

I wonder how much Angie paid ABC to spin her negligence into a hit piece on a random delivery driver. I feel bad for the dog and the delivery driver that had to shoot it.

1. If someone is so unreasonable afraid of dogs, he should not work as deliverer. 2. Why did he enter the property? When you deliver something you ring the bell and wait until the owner opens the front door or the garden door. 3. Was he black and that is why the police closed the case, to avoid "special" problems. 4. Is it the result of wokeness in the US, that you need no evidences, when you just say, you felt threatened? Not what really IS counts, but what you feel (or what you say, you felt).

Doesn't surprise me. Black delivery driver and we all know black people are scared of dogs. That dog didn't attack that man at all.

Maybe next time visit reality and go get your own groceries.

People with dogs should be banned from having mailmen, pizza delivery, ambulance 🚑 and Amazon delivery to their homes…look how this women takes no responsibility for what happen why do she think it’s ok for her dog to harass a man that’s just doing his job??
