4H sheep killed, shot at close range
BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) - Three sheep were shot in the head at close range in a Star, Idaho, pasture this week, and police are asking for the public's help to find who is responsible.
Star Police and the Ada County Sheriff's Office started investigating after the first report Tuesday morning from the sheep's owner.
Then two sheep more were found shot the same way overnight Thursday in the same pasture near Star Road and Joplin Road.
The owner told police that the sheep were being raised to be shown by 4H students.
The sheep were valued at about $250 each.
The sheriff's office says the evidence points to more than one person involved, and that they walked onto the rancher's property to get close enough to shoot the sheep at close range.
Entering someone's property to destroy livestock is a felony in Idaho punishable by up to five years in prison.

Oh God, PLEASE !
Please forgive us for having brought such children into the world ! Help us, oh God, to find who did this and bring them swift justice like an avalanche, upon their heads. Help us, Father, to overcome these wicked acts against your creation...and against those sheep...innocent, unknowing that other beings called 'humans' could be capable of such an atrocity, committing these horrid crimes against nature, against the humanity of those few of us who are left...oh Lord, help us to realize that we cannot allow for this whatsoever and that grave punishment is their lot for those who do.
There is no evil under the sun quite like this. Help us, Father, to find who did this so that justice may be done unto them.Â
In Jesus Holy Name...I ask it.....Amen
If those sheep had been armed....yada yada yada,
