Police were called to an apartment building Saturday for a report of a “screaming woman.”
Family members said the woman, however, was not in distress but was celebrating the New York Knicks’ NBA championship.
The LAPD said that when officers were talking to her, her large dog was by her side, barking at them.
They told her to secure the dog. She briefly closed her door, and when she reopened it, police said the dog charged at an officer.

The LAPD’s Force Investigation Division responded to the scene and is continuing to investigate the shooting.
The family has set up a GoFundMe page.
“Jameson was 2 years old, and he was taken from us too soon. Anyone who’s met Jameson would tell you he is the sweetest boy in the world. Please help us raise money to get Justice for Jameson and any cremation fees,” the page reads.
