Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriffs Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.
Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldnt find them a home, according to the sheriffs office.
On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies one in his arms and another in his left hand when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriffs report said.
Deputies found three of the puppies in a shallow grave outside Bradfords home, said sheriffs Sgt. Ted Roy.
The other four appeared to be in good health and were taken by Escambia County Animal Control, which planned to make them available for adoption.
