Police identified a neighbor as the suspect, finding a BB gun, pellets, and drug paraphernalia in his home. “I have never seen an animal shot that many times,” said Assistant Chief Craig Hayes of the Seymour Police Department, describing it as a “very bad case.”

Despite his severe injuries, Jackson is on the road to recovery. Hayden remains hopeful for justice, expressing that the offender should face a lengthy prison sentence and be banned from owning animals.
