Dispatchers received a report of a burglary on June 3 in which the caller screamed that her door had been kicked in. After the call disconnected, dispatchers entered the caller’s address into their system, but it autocorrected to a separate address that was off by one letter. — Unsplash

A pet dog was shot and killed after police mistakenly responded to the wrong address, Texas cops said.

“The Waco Police Department is saddened by the unfortunate shooting resulting in the death of Finn, a beloved pet,” police wrote in a June 5 news release.
