A dog was shot and killed in an apparent home invasion in northeast Calgary on Wednesday night.

Police were called to the 100 block of Margate Close N.E. about 11:30 p.m. after "multiple offenders" broke into a home, said Sgt. Duane Lepchuk.

"It appears to be a home invasion robbery," he said. "Shots were fired from what we believe was a shotgun, at which time a dog in the residence was killed."

Lepchuk said the dog appeared to be a pitbull.

The offenders fled and two men were arrested nearby.

A shotgun was also recovered.

The two menare facing charges of break and enter to commit an offence, using a firearm in commission of an offence, possession of a dangerous weapon, and cruelty to an animal.

Lepchuk said police are looking for two more suspects.

Three adults were in the home at the time and no one was injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
