I know this makes me sound crazy, but if someone shot my dog at the dog park, they'd have to shoot me next, because I'd probably try to kill them (ok, not kill them, but I'd lose my mind with rage).
As a frequent dog-parker, I too know that your dog is going to get extra-bothered if it's on a leash in an off-leash area. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. Yes, Huskies aren't the most docile of breeds, but it didn't sound like it was really a fight that was occurring at the time. It sounds like a nervous, armed owner kept his dog on a leash, got overly concerned when another dog approached and had some mouthy play, and when the situation didn't immediately dissipate, he took out his handgun and shot the other dog! Disgusting!
As someone who's seen and helped treat dogs that have been abused, even shot at, I can tell you that you also worry about the owner and his pet! If he would so quickly shoot another dog, how is his own pet treated?!
I'm sorry, even if you're off-duty, even if it's a dog, you fired your sidearm and killed something! You should face some sort of punishment! Hopefully the owner can go after him in civil court or something.
I hate people sometimes
