Police: New Mexico man claims dog told him to shoot ex

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Authorities say an Albuquerque man accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend told police his neighbor's dog told him to do it.

KRQE-TV in Albuquerque reports that 48-year-old Matthew Gonzales told investigators that the dog gave him the advice after Gonzales saw his ex-girlfriend's status update on social media. Gonzales says he was angry about his ex-girlfriend announcing that she was single.

According to court documents, Gonzales says the dog told him, "you need to take care of this."

Police say Gonzales shot his ex-girlfriend during a struggle on Tuesday.
