On Wednesday, a man accidentally killed his neighbor while attempting to protect him from being mauled by dogs.

Unfortunately, sometimes when you try to help, you actually make the situation worse.


The victim, who has been identified as 27-year-old Joshua Jadusingh, had two Pitbulls who had a demonstrated history of aggression and fighting.

The Adams Police Department in Massachusetts received multiple calls at 12:09 PM on Wednesday reporting a domestic disturbance and dog mauling.

Among the callers was Jadusingh's next-door neighbor, who heard his cries for help. The neighbor said he stepped outside and could hear the dog attack in progress, so he returned to his home to grab the crossbow he uses when he goes hunting.

Upon entering Jadusingh's home, the neighbor could see one of the two Pitbulls at the foot of the stairs. There was a door closed ahead of the dog, where Jadusingh had barricaded himself in an attempt to avoid the attack.

In an effort to save Jadusingh, the neighbor fired his crossbow at the visible dog. The arrow struck the dog in the scruff of the neck, but it didn't stop there.

It passed through the dog's scruff and then shot through the door. The arrow struck Jadusingh, who was hiding just on the other side, and killed him.

When they arrived at the home, the Pitbulls turned their attention to the Adams police and continued to attempt to attack. One of the police officers, who has not been identified, shot both dogs, killing them.

It was at this time the police discovered Jadusingh was dead on the scene. They also found a child closed in a nearby room, but they were left unharmed by the dogs.

The neighbor's identity has not been publicly released, but the Adams police have confirmed the shooting is being dealt with as an accident, and the neighbor is being cooperative with the investigation.

Also being investigated is the use of ballistics when the police arrived and stopped the dogs.

Twitter has been absolutely flabbergasted with the news. Most of their responses, instead of offering condolences, have focused on gun control and dark humor.





As the investigation continues, the police may uncover a few more details, but it looks like this was more of an unfortunate accident than anything else. A man was trying to be a good neighbor and save him from what could have been a brutal mauling.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
