Angie Harmon receives APOLOGY from Instacart after company's delivery person allegedly shot and KILLED one of her family dogs: 'We have no tolerance for violence'

The 51-year-old former Law & Order star revealed in an Instagram post on Monday that her dog Oliver had been killed by the shopper after they dropped off groceries to her home in Charlotte, North Carolina.

'This Easter weekend a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver,' she wrote, alongside several sweet photos of the deceased pet. 'He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog.'

In a statement provided to DailyMail.com, Instacart addressed Angie's claims - revealing that the delivery driver in question has been suspended from their role.

'We were deeply saddened and disturbed to hear about this incident. We have no tolerance for violence of any kind, and the shopper account was immediately suspended from our platform,' a spokesperson said.

'The investigation revealed that a delivery driver arrived at the residence to deliver consumable goods. The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog,' police said. 'Another dog was present at the residence but did not attack.'

They added that the department's Animal Control division was also involved in the response to the shooting, but the department confirmed that no charges had been filed against the driver at this time.

The police department added that it was not seeking out any other individuals in response to the shooting.
