A black and white, 3-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse mare was shot and killed near Helena, Miss., on Jan. 30 in the middle of the afternoon, reported Brad Crocker on gulflive.com (https://www.gulflive.com/news/mississippipress/index.ssf?/base/news/1170415006313050.xml).

Jeff Martin’s wife saw the horse, Top Cake, outside their property in the afternoon, and he went to get feed to lure the horse back onto the property from the open field. There is a local gun ordinance that prevents people from shooting within 150 yards of a residence, building, campsite, developed recreation site, or occupied dwelling.

Police are investigating
