UPDATE: On January 6, I posted a video showing Wake County (NC) Deputy Andrew Deras walking up to the front door of the Briggs family’s home. Nobody answers the door, so he just lets himself in and begins to look around. About a minute later, shots ring out from inside the house. He shot the family dog. Mr. Briggs was at work. Mrs. Briggs was out of town. Their 4 kids were at school. It was just Zelda, the family’s beloved Belgian Malinois, being a good girl, doing her job protecting their home from armed intruders. Zelda didn't make it. After my video was published, it ended up making the local news in North Carolina, and resulting in a response from the Wake County Sheriff's Department. Unbelievably, Deputy Deras seems to have completely disappeared.
