Police in Rockford, Illinois, say a man who shot a 16-year old boy in the mouth over the weekend may have actually been aiming for a stray dog.

Police were told that a dog was bothering a small group of people gathered outside a home, prompting one resident to fire a shot at it. The 16-year-old boy’s injuries were not considered life threatening, authorities said.

The shooter fled before officers arrived, police said, but they have a suspect, according to the Rockford Register Star.

Yet another one we can add to the “dangerous breed” list — and I don’t mean the dog.
