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.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
