Angie Harmon sues Instacart over fatal dog shooting, PTSD; app is ‘beyond responsible,’ she says

Angie Harmon is suing Instacart and the delivery driver allegedly involved in the shooting of her dog Oliver, who later died. The “Law & Order” and “Rizzoli & Isles” alum, who filed a civil lawsuit over the March 30 incident in Mecklenburg County, N.C., believes the app is “beyond responsible for all this.” “It’s so unfathomable to think that there is somebody in your front driveway that just fired a gun,” Harmon said Wednesday on “Good Morning America.” “And you don’t ever forget that sound.” “I’ve played law enforcement for 30 years. Harmon’s lawsuit alleges that Reid, whose father’s name is Merle, was impersonating Merle on the Instacart app and described him as a “tall and intimidating younger man.” She said that Reid was not injured or seriously threatened by the German Shepherd-Beagle mix and that he had “ample opportunity” to leave the property unharmed without allegedly shooting the dog. “Terrified for her children’s safety, Ms. Harmon immediately ran downstairs to determine source of what she thought was a gun shot,” the complaint said. Instacart said it “immediately suspended” the shopper account associated with the incident from the platform, but Harmon alleges that Reid delivered food to one of her neighbors hours later, despite the suspension.
