Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Orders Probe Into Fatal Dog Shooting by LAPD

Karen Bass isn't letting the LAPD off the hook for killing a cute, fluffy dog last during a Knicks NBA Finals celebration.

The Los Angeles mayor has ordered a probe into the LAPD officers who shot to death Jameson -- a mixed golden retriever, Saint Bernard and poodle -- after police responded to Saturday's distress call of a woman screaming at an apartment complex, the California Post reports. 

In a statement to the outlet, Bass said ... "Every life lost to violence is a tragedy, and we know that the devastating loss of Jameson will be felt by his family forever."

Bass also said she personally spoke with LAPD Chief of Police Jim McDonnell to ensure there's accountability for any wrongdoing, adding that she will be keeping tabs on the "transparent and thorough" investigation.

During the tragic incident, officers ordered the canine's owner and avid Knicks fan, Marie Marseille, to secure Jameson, but cops say the dog dashed at them so they opened fire, killing the pooch.

All this happened moments after Marie was celebrating the Knicks 94-90 victory over the Spurs to take home the NBA Finals trophy.
