Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs, who were stolen by thieves who shot and injured the dogwalker, were recovered unharmed on Friday, Los Angeles police said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs, who were stolen by thieves who shot and injured her walker, were recovered unscathed on Friday, Los Angeles police said.
A woman took the dogs to the LAPD Olympic Community Police Station, northwest of downtown, at about 6 pm, said Capt. Jonathan Tippet, commander of the department’s elite Robbery-Murder Division.
Lady Gaga’s representative and detectives went to the police station and confirmed that they were the dogs, Tippet said.
The singer is currently in Rome to make a film.
The woman who left the dogs appears to be “disconnected and not associated” with Wednesday’s attack, Tippet said.
In a tweet on Friday night, the LAPD said the woman had found the dogs “and reached out to Lady Gaga’s team to return them.”
Their identity and the location where the dogs were found will not be disclosed for their safety and because of the ongoing investigation, the LAPD said.
Dog walker Ryan Fischer was shot once while walking three of the singer’s dogs in Hollywood. The video showed a white sedan parking and two men jumping. They fought with the dog walker before one pulled a gun and fired a single shot before fleeing with two of the dogs. The third escaped and has since met with Lady Gaga’s representatives.
The dog walker can be heard in the video saying he was shot in the chest. He must survive his injuries, said Tippet.
“I still love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You are a hero forever, ”said Lady Gaga in an Instagram post.
Lady Gaga repeated on Friday her offer of a $ 500,000 reward for the return of her dogs – whose names are Koji and Gustav – without asking questions. Tippet said that since the police were not involved in the reward, he did not know whether the woman would receive it.
