A Ventura, Calif. man, who refused to drop his gun while in the midst of shooting a dog, was delivered swift justice on Wednesday afternoon after he too, was shot and killed.

According to ABC 7 News, Ventura County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about an armed man who was at the Mountain Vista Elementary School on Wednesday.

Based on a description provided by the caller, the responding deputies soon located the suspect, who was at that time, standing outside of his own home.

According to the Los Angeles Times, that man was 33-year-old Josue Jimenez.

Jimenez, who was holding a handgun, was ordered to drop his weapon, but he ignored the order and fired.

One of the deputies fired back, hitting Jimenez.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department released the following in a statement:

"Deputies quickly realized the shot Jimenez fired was directed at a dog,"

Though medical aid was provided to both Jimenez and the dog, described as a pit bull, neither survived their gunshot injuries.

According to KEYT News, Jimenez had a prior record of gun violations.

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
