Actress Angie Harmon is in silence following the tragic accident at her North Carolina home in which her family dog Oliver was shot and killed by an Instacart delivery driver. Harmon’s confusion and disbelief were evident as she discussed the ordeal during an interview on “Good Morning America.”
“It’s overwhelming to think that someone just shot a gun in your backyard,” Harmon said, her voice thick with emotion. “And you’ll never forget that sound.”
A daily delivery turns into a disaster
Harmon, known for his work on “Rizzoli and the Isles” and other law enforcement officers, said how she ordered a simple food delivery in late April for her family to celebrate Easter, but it turned bad. He spoke to the customer through the Instacart app and believed he was talking to a woman named Merle. Labor occurs naturally until birth. “I think we talked to a single, slightly older woman named Merle, and she talked to me and told me about my order,” Harmon said. “It didn’t happen. Now it’s my family.”
