Red Bluff, California please get answers as to why two St Bernard's were killed.

Recently there was a story on social media about two St. Bernard who were in a Cul-de Sac and were killed by law enforcement.  The individual who reported them reportedly tried to find homes for these animals before calling in.   

It was also reported that one of them was still alive after more than a half of dozen shots rang out.  

We are merely seeking answers and not wanting to place blame as there is always many sides to a story.   These dogs and those that love the breed deserve the answers as to what happened and why.
