Two were slain in a hail of bul- lets near the town's shooting range in West Barnstable and the third by police in a raid aimed at arresting a 16-year-old. Dogs Slain in the Woods The bodies of two dogs were re- ported by walkers on a trail near the Town-owned shooting range of Service Road in West Barnstable on the morning of May 31, according to Barnstable Police Department spokesman Sgt. Sean Sweeney. Thirty-seven shell casings from AR-15 semi-automatic rifles were found at the scene. The shooting started from about 40 feet away, according to Sweeney,but the blood trail and final position of the dogs some 60 feet beyond there indicated that the shooting were not defensive actions on the part of the shooters. In addition to the 29 shells recovered from the primaryshooting area , Sweeney said an additional eight were found close to the dogs. The dogs were identified by their former owner's daughter when pho- tos of their bodies were published in the Cape Cod Times. The owner, who was moving and could not take the dogs with him, had asked Keith Kynock, 26, of Cotuit , who owns one pit bull, to take them. From informa- tion provided by the former owner, Kynock was brought in for question- ing, Sweeney said. Kynock acknowledged that he had possession of the dogs, but told police they 'd gotten away, according to Sweeney. He also acknowledged that he had two AR-15s, for which he is licensed through the Barnstable Police, as well as a third weapon in the vehicle he drove to the police station. Kynock agreed to allow the officers to search the vehicle. A loaded 40-caliber handgun was found , as were brass knuckles, a black ski mask, gloves, bolt cutters , duct tape and a police scanner. Possession of brass knuckles is a felony in Massachusetts, and he was arrested and booked on that charge, but was later released with no ad- ditional information forthcoming on the dogs. Additional information about a second person possibly involved in the shooting resulted in the question- ing and subsequent arrest of Todd Soderberg, 26, of Forestdale. Sweeney said Soderberg eventually told police of his involvement and identified Kynock as the other participant. Both were arrested on charges of maliciously killing domestic ani- mals, animal cruelty and weapons violations. Both pleaded not guilty and were released after posting bail. Cookout Fight starts Chain of Events The shooting of a pet pit bull by Barnstable Policelast Wednesday was the result of an operation aimed at ar- resting an individual and recovering a gun from an earlier altercation. The incident started at a cookout at a nearby residence , with an ar- gument between a 16-year-old and Joury Caraballo, 22. According to reportsto the police,the youth kicked Caraballo 's vehicle , leaving a dent. Witnesses told the police that Cara- ballo attempted to assault the youth with a knife. The youth left , saying that he'd be back with a gun. According to signed statements provided to the police , that's just what happened , and a shot was fired , apparently into the air. The youth and his brother fled and police arrested Caraballos on assault charges for the incident with the knife, which was recovered. The police sought and received a "no knock" warrant for the home of the youth's mother on Strawberry Hill Road. Sweeney said that when weapons are inv9olved , especially a gun, no-knock warrants that al- low an element of surprise for law enforcement are typically sought. The Barnstable/Yarmouth Special Response Team was assembled and Barnstable Police Chief John Finnegan authorized the operation , which took place about 2:30 a.m. June 1. The department was familiar with the home and was aware that a dog was present. After opening the door and asking that the dog, a pit bull, be restrained , Sweeney said, the of- ficers reported the dog left the house and was moving toward them. Three shots were fired at the dog, which was killed, Sweeney said, although it appears one missed. Neither the youth nor the gun were found in the home. According to published reports, the family does not believe the of- ficers gave them the opportunity to restrain the dog, which was described by the family and family veterinarian as gentle. Sweeney said that it is routine for the police to handcuff everyone in such situations. He said it provides an opportunity to "slow the scene down" and figure out who's who. In the days following the raid, the department developed more informa- tion about the youth'swhereabouts. He was arrested without incident , along with two brothers as they were in the process of moving from a rental on Connemera Circle in Hyannis. Four grams of crack cocaine were found in the vehicle , police said, resulting in additional charges. Police said a safe found at the Connemera Circle location contained a handgun. At press time the depart- ment was attempting to verify the gun's owner. Keith Newell was located at an Oak Neck Road apartment and was arrested without incident , according to Sweeney. Overcrowding... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:3 "affects a relatively small portion of people. " Herecognized the problem, but saw the proposal as having unintended consequences. CouncilVicePresident JanetJoakim, who chaired the council'ssubcommit- tee on housing, said that she, too, struggled with the proposal, but came down on the side of givingtown staff the tools to enforce. AssistantTownManagerPaulNiedz- wiecki said that there are hypotheti- cal and philosophical concerns with the proposal, "but the problem that we're dealing with is the destruction of single-family neighborhoods. He asked for the council's support . "It is enforceable. Give us a chance and we'll do it," Niedzwiecki said. The council reopened public com- mentonthe proposals,assomeamend- ments had been offered. "We have some concerns as to how this is going to impact summer resi- dents who we need as employees and also businesses who rent property," Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce president John Kenney told the coun- cil. "Ireallystruggle with this because I wouldn't want to live next to one of those houses, but I can understand circumstances" where it would be onerous. "I'm askingyou to take into consid- eration the people who do live near those houses," Bill Elkins of Hyannis said, responding to Kenney's com- ments. "It'seasy for someone from the outside,from the business community, of which I'm a member, to say that we needs work . No it does not. The work is over and done with. Make it work and do it now." Those speaking in favor of the ordi- nance outnumbered those expressing concerns. Director of Growth Management Ruth Weilsaidthat the issue of season- al housing still needs to be more fully examinedand an ad hoc committee of housing and business representatives willbe assembled to suggest revisions. Shetold the council that staff preferred to move ahead with the ordinance as written rather than hold it up on the seasonal housing issue. An additional budget appropriation for the health division to administer the rental inspection ordinance will be taken up at a June 15 public hearing before the council. The portion of the ordinancedealing with occupancy of single-familyhomes becomes effective 30 days from adop- tion, or July 1, and the rental portion 120 days from adoption, which makes it effective early October.
