Donkey Shot During Missing Girl Search | Atlanta News

A donkey named HeeHaw was fatally shot by a Georgia police officer during a high-stakes search for a missing 12-year-old girl. The animal charged at a K-9 unit after being spooked by nearby horses, prompting the officer to fire his weapon to protect the handler and dogs. Despite efforts to deter HeeHaw with a Taser, the donkey continued advancing — leading to its death. The family is heartbroken, and the officer has been placed on administrative leave as authorities investigate. Meanwhile, the missing girl was safely found later that day, and drone footage of the incident is now part of the probe.
