Fatal shooting of Travis the chimp haunts cop

[JohnnyOV 2]

STAMFORD, Conn. - Everybody here knew Travis the Chimp, whose owners drove him around in a tow truck, and Police Officer Frank Chiafari, on the job for 25 years, remembered playing with him when their paths would cross.

"When I saw him, he was small and cute and friendly — he’d wave at you," Officer Chiafari recalled. "Who would have ever thought when we were playing together, we’d have this incident 15 years later?"

The story gets graphic.

"He should have been in the jungle where he’s supposed to be. Not in a house drinking wine and taking Xanax."

Is the officer stating he has PTSD from seeing the victim, or from the act of shooting the animal itself?

I think both had a profound effect on him.
