Lady Gaga’s dog walker shot in Hollywood, dogs stolen; $500K reward offered

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Lady Gaga’s dog walker is in the hospital after he was shot and two of the pop star’s French bulldogs were stolen Wednesday night in Hollywood, the Los Angeles Times confirmed.

According to the LAPD Hollywood Division, a suspect armed with a semi-automatic handgun shot a single victim around 9:40 p.m. on the 1500 block of Sierra Bonita Avenue. The gunman fled the scene, driving northbound on Sierra Bonita in a white vehicle. The shooting victim was hospitalized in unknown condition.

A pair of Gaga’s French bulldogs, "Koji" and "Gustav," were abducted, and The Times has confirmed the singer is offering a $500,000 reward for their return, “no questions asked.” TMZ reported that an email address has been set up for anyone with information about the dogs’ whereabouts.

Gaga’s third dog ran away from the altercation and was later retrieved by Gaga's bodyguard while the singer is in Rome working on a film, according to TMZ.
