Pennsylvania State Police have arrested a Seven Valleys man who allegedly shot three of his dogs and killed two of them.
According to court documents, 49-year-old Carl Herbert Kline of the 100 block of Oak Street, admitted to shooting the dogs inside his home then dumping the two deceased animals in a corn field behind the house.
Police said the third dog was found bleeding inside an animal crate.
State Police reportedly found 14 discharged shell casings on the floor and in the trash.
Kline, who authorities said was intoxicated, was arrested and charged with 'discharge of a firearm in an occupied structure'.
More than a dozen people told CBS 21 News that they believe Kline should face more severe charges.
"I couldn't imagine living with myself after that," Rosa Dipiazza. "I think he should have some type of animal cruelty charge."
"I think it should be charged the same as killing another human being," said Joseph Dipiazza.
According to State Police, investigators are still working on the case.
Police told CBS 21 News that investigators are also in the process of consulting with the York County District Attorney's Office to see if more charges should be filed.
Carl Kline is out of jail on $10,000 bail.
