A man who fired an AK-47 at a couple walking their dog when they encouraged it to "go potty" and killed a woman in the process has been jailed for life.
Isabella Thallas and Darian Simon had been walking their pet near their home when the tragedy happened.
Prosecutors said Michael Close got into a “verbal exchange” with the pair as they encouraged their dog to relieve itself.
Denver District Court heard Close yelled at the pair from inside his home before reaching for the weapon and firing 24 bullets.
He is said to have shouted: “Are you going to train that f****** dog or just yell at it?”
Simon responded: “Mind your own business; Rocko is a good dog.”
Seconds later Close fired the weapon at the pair, killing 21-year-old Isabella who was shot in the back and died instantly in the exchange and wounding her partner in his legs.
Close fled the scene but was arrested by the Park County Sheriff’s Office hours later.
Deputies found a gun belt and the rifle. inside his car.
This feral savage should have been given the Death Penalty.
This was cold bloodied murder.
