Pet dog is shot dead after it breaks free at Honolulu Airport
Leisha Ramos had just returned to her home island of Oahu when a series of events led to a security guard fatally shooting her dog, Kai‘ele, at Honolulu Airport.
“I was just in shock. … He was such a sweetheart,” said Ramos, 25. “He never attacked anybody.”
State Department of Transportation spokesman Tim Sakahara declined to provide details, saying the incident is still under investigation.
Securitas Security Services USA, which provides security at the airport, did not respond to a query about the airport incident.
