‘Law And Order’ Star’s Dog Shot, Killed By Instacart Deliveryman While Delivering Groceries
Angie Harmon took to Instagram to share the news of her precious pup's tragic death.
On Monday, the "Law and Order" actress posted a few photos and a video clip of her family's dog Oliver, whom they also call Ollie, with a heartbreaking caption.
"This Easter weekend, a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot and killed our precious Oliver. He got out of his car, delivered the food, and THEN shot our dog," she wrote.
"Our ring camera was charging in the house, which he saw and then knew he wasn't being recorded."
According to the 51-year-old actress, the police also let the deliveryman go after he reportedly claimed "self-defense" even though he "did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his parts torn."

While the deliveryman claimed "self-defense" to the police, he allegedly taunted the actress and her kids by saying, "Yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah, I did," after the act.
"We are completely traumatized and beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy and family member," Harmon wrote.
The "Agent Cody Banks" star also posted about the man on her Instagram Story, revealing that he used the name "Merle" in his Instacart profile.
She called him out once more when she wrote, "To the man who took Ollie away from us, your actions are despicable and inexcusable. You've not only robbed us of a beloved member of our family, but you've also traumatized us beyond measure."
"The fact that someone could commit such a heartless act is beyond comprehension to me, and I'm devastated that I didn't get to say goodbye to him.
Instacart has since responded to Harmon's allegations, telling TMZ that it was "deeply saddened and disturbed to hear about the incident" and that it has "no tolerance for violence of any kind."
The spokesperson of the delivery company also said that the deliveryman has since been suspended from the platform and is cooperating with the investigation.
Aside from calling out the man who allegedly killed her family's pet dog, Angie reposted a quote that's giving her comfort following the incident.
"You cried so many times in private. I've seen every one of your tears. Fear not, for I am with you. Continue to wait on Me. My hand is upon you. Be still and know that I am God," the quote read.
