A woman on Whitefish Stage Road told the Flathead County Sheriff's Office that the neighbors shot at her boyfriend with a BB gun while he was out walking his dog Sunday night. She said her boyfriend was not hit by a BB. The woman said the neighbors were angry because the dog was barking at deer in the road. Deputies spoke with the neighbors, who said dogs have been barking and chasing deer and that it has been an ongoing problem. One of the neighbors told police that she fired air from her air gun to scare the dogs, and the couple agreed to contact the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks about the dogs chasing deer and not shoot at them.
