'Rizzoli & Isles' star Angie Harmon said police let the Instacart delivery driver go after he claimed 'self-defense' in the shooting of her dog
Angie Harmon accused an Instacart delivery driver of shooting and killing her family's dog in a social media post shared Monday.
The fatal shooting of Harmon's dog named Oliver occurred over Easter weekend shortly after a man delivered an order to the "Rizzoli & Isles" star's home.
"He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog," Harmon wrote on Instagram. "Our ring camera was charging in the house, which he saw & then knew he wasn’t being recorded."
According to the actress, the delivery driver claimed "self-defense" and was let go by police.

"He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn," she alleged.
"He was shopping under a woman’s identity named Merle… the pic is on my story," she added. Harmon shared a screenshot of the delivery confirmation which featured a photo of a woman.
"He shot our dog with my daughters & myself at home & just kept saying, ‘yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did,'" she explained. "We are completely traumatized & beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy & family member."
A representative for Harmon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
