We received this email from My Ballard reader Danya:
Just wanted to get the word out that someone in Ballard shot my cat with a pellet gun. I live on 22nd Ave NW between 80th and 83rd. I think it happened sometime during last week. I just discovered the pellet lodged in her side and was able to take it out with tweezers. Thankfully she is doing just fine and recovering well. Hopefully this is a one time incident and not something we’ll see again.
