Authorities say Kelley and his 60-year-old father were drinking alcohol in a busway gazebo in Wilkinsburg when they fought with officers. Zappala says officers had already tried to stun Kelley at least six times, with no effect, when they released the police dog. Zappala says Kelley stabbed the German shepherd and then was shot at 10 times by one officer and two times by another officer.
