JOHNSON COUNTY, Iowa ?_" An investigation is under way after a gunman killed a horse and wounded two others Sunday afternoon near Swisher. The man fired more than a dozen shots into a horse pasture around 2 p.m., Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said. There is no apparent reason for the shooting and at this time charges are still pending, but officials have identified and spoken with their primary suspect.

"It's really kind of a sad deal that somebody would shoot somebody's horses for no reason,?__ Pulkrabek, who declined to release the name of the suspect, said.

Two surviving horses had gunshot wounds to the head, breast, flank and legs. They will likely be taken to a vet for specialized care later this week, but are expected to recover. A third horse lay dead Monday morning behind a tree.

?_oI don?_Tt know what this guy had in mind, come out here and decide to open up on somebody?_Ts pets,?__ said Todd Zach, a cousin of the owner and caregiver to the horses. ?_oI don?_Tt know if he?_Ts watching too many video games at home or just wants to kill somebody?_Ts pets, I don?_Tt know.?__

A fourth horse was not wounded, but will have to travel with the surviving pair to the vet in order to maintain its mental health, Zach said. The horses have lived together for several years in the pasture.

?_oI just don?_Tt know what to say, there?_Ts no explanation for this,?__ said Zach.

Pulkrabek said this is the first time he can recall a random act of violence resulting in the death of a horse.

    I think if I had caught him in the act of shooting those horses, I may have had to take a couple shots at him...see how much he liked being shot at. Ten ring![:(!][:(!]

    I noticed it on one of my post from earlier today also. Server must have a glitch or it is some formating from where it was copied from to be pasted here.

    Formatting / character code translation from one format to another IE word processor to ASCII to ?
    It happens a lot when doing a copy/paste from a news source, and not unusual when doing a copy/paste from a WordPerfect type document.

    I've owned a couple of horses I wanted to shoot. Only the task of carcass disposal kept me from it.

    I would like to disagree that he makes responsible gun-owners look bad, but we always seems to get included in this kind of crap.


    I wish the majority of media would realize that his actions make the whole of the Human Race look bad.

    Im pretty sure about 120 years or so ago, one could very well be in some serious (almost capital punishment serious) crap for shooting another persons horse without just cause.

    Yes. Horses are heard animals. A horse left alone (once it is heard bound) can indeed suffer stress to the point that it can injure itself trying to get back to the heard. Safety in numbers.
