Raleigh, North Carolina – Actress Angie Harmon took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news of her family’s dog, Ollie, being shot and killed in their North Carolina home over the Easter weekend. The incident involved a delivery driver for Instacart, a popular grocery delivery service, which has left Harmon and her family devastated. Harmon, known for her roles in Law & Order and Rizzoli & Isles, expressed her shock and grief in a viral post on the social media platform.
According to Harmon, the Instacart driver allegedly shot Ollie claiming self-defense, despite the lack of any visible signs of aggression from the dog. The incident has sparked outrage as the family’s surveillance camera was not operational at the time of the shooting, failing to capture the events leading up to Ollie’s death. Harmon raised concerns about the driver’s use of a false identity while working for Instacart, adding a layer of suspicion to the already tragic situation.
Authorities confirmed that the driver reported the shooting as an act of self-defense, leading to no arrests or charges being recommended. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department corroborated some details of the incident outlined by Harmon. Instacart responded by suspending the driver and initiating cooperation with law enforcement in their investigation of the matter.
The shooting has left Harmon and her family traumatized, with the actress condemning the driver’s actions as “despicable and inexcusable.” The loss of Ollie has deeply affected them, prompting Harmon to speak out against the senseless violence that took their beloved pet away. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of interactions that can escalate to tragic consequences in a society where guns are prevalent.
