The Lyon County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident in Silver Springs that happened Wednesday involving the death of dog and the involvement of a Lyon County Commissioner.
The sheriff's office responded to a reported discharge of a firearm on Spruce Avenue in Silver Springs, according to a news release. The incident, which included the death of a dog, involved Lyon County District 2 Commissioner Don Alt, KRNV, MyNews 4 reports.
This incident is being thoroughly and properly investigated by the Sheriff’s Office, to include the collection of evidence and compiling witness statements, according to the sheriff's office news release. Two out-of-county forensic tests will be requested, and can take several months before we receive the finalized laboratory reports.
