Lady Gaga’s dog got shot, man is sentenced to prison
A cold-hearted violent act."
A man who shot and wounded Lady Gaga's dog walker during a dog theft has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
Ryan Fischer was walking the pop star’s three French bulldogs in Hollywood in February 2021 when James Howard Jackson shot him in the chest, a court heard.
Two of the dogs, Koji and Gustav, were stolen following the shooting - a third bulldog, Miss Asia, ran away and was later found by police.
The two stolen dogs were returned unharmed after Gaga offered a $500,000 (£359,000) reward.
Jackson pleaded no contest - California's equivalent to a guilty plea - to attempted murder.
