$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
LUND, Sweden, April 23 (UPI) -- Police in Lund, Sweden, said a 25-year-old man allegedly shot his neighbor's parrot after it pecked at him with its beak.
Investigators said the man, who described the bird as "cocky," claimed to have fired three shots at the parrot, all of which he said missed, Swedish News Agency TT reported Wednesday.
However, a veterinarian said the bird had to be put down after one of the bullets became lodged in its body.
Police said the incident is being investigated as a possible case of cruelty to animals.
