“This Easter weekend, a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver. He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog,” Harmon wrote.
PEOPLE reported that it happened at her home in Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to police, the driver won’t be charged. Here’s what the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement to PEOPLE.
“The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog.”
Harmon rebutted the driver’s self defense claim.
“He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor wore his pants torn,” she wrote on social media. “He shot our dog with my daughters & myself at home & just kept saying, ‘Yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did.’”

Harmon says the family is devastated.
“To the man who took Ollie away from us: your actions are despicable and inexcusable,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “You’ve not only robbed us of a beloved member of our family, but you’ve also traumatized us beyond measure.”
“The fact that someone could commit such a heartless act is beyond comprehension to me, and I’m devastated that I didn’t get to say goodbye to him,” she said. “RIP OLLIE.”
