[QUOTE="Highflyer, post: 81684, member: 14062"] A [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/technologies/drones']drone[/URL] being used to help search for a missing dog ended up getting shot out of the sky by a man on [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/northeast/new-york']New York[/URL]'s Long Island on Saturday, police said. The Suffolk County [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement']Police Department[/URL] said in a [URL='https://scpd.suffolkcountyny.gov/pressrelease/prview.aspx?id=ter&prid=71&year=2019']news release[/URL] Sunday that 26-year-old Gerard Chasteen is facing charges of third-degree criminal mischief and prohibited use of a weapon after firing at the drone from his yard. The incident took place around 4:45 p.m. after members of Missing Angels-Long Island, an organization that searches for missing pets, were using a Mavic 2 Zoom drone to search for a missing dog.
