Goat Drive-by shooting

SANTA FE, N.M. - Police in Santa Fe are searching for the suspect or suspects in a drive-by shooting that killed a pet goat.
The shooting happened Sunday evening and killed Maria, a Nigerian dwarf goat who lived with two other goats and other animals at the home. Someone in a blue-green minivan drove up to the fenced yard where the goats are kept and fired three shots from a small-caliber pistol, hitting the animal once in the abdomen and once through a nasal passage.

Maria's owners, one of whom is an emergency medical technician, tried for more than an hour to care for the dying goat.

"The fact that this was a goat getting killed is bad enough," Santa Fe Police Chief Aric Wheeler said. "But this is also a drive-by shooting of a home in the middle of the city. That's a major concern for us."
