PENNSYLVANIA (WHTM) — A pet returns from the kennel unwell, updates on the Park City Center shooting, and a fire at a historic Central Pennsylvania bridge — here are five of this week’s most-viewed stories you might have missed.
1. Midstate pet owner left with thousands in veterinarian bills after dog’s stay at kennel
The 10-year-old golden retriever Gunnar spent 10 days in a Dauphin County kennel while his family was on vacation. When his family came back and got him, they noticed that he seemed less spirited than normal.
They took him to the emergency veterinarian, then followed up with his regular vet when he did not seem to be getting better. His owner's daughter said he was diagnosed with pneumonia, he had infections, and he had a rash.

Although the kennel refunded the family for Gunnar's stay, his owners still owed more than $5,000 in vet bills. Gunnar's health is improving, but his family plans to file a complaint about the kennel.

3. Could the bystander who intervened in the Park City Center shooting be charged?
A shooting at Park City Center last Sunday began with an altercation between two men. A bystander armed with a legal firearm intervened, shooting one of the people involved in the altercation. This left people wondering, would the bystander be charged with any crimes?
Signs at Park City Center show that guns are not allowed on the property, but officers said the bystander was legally carrying his concealed firearm.
On Friday, the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office hosted a press conference, during which they said that the bystander will not face any charges.

5. Alec Baldwin fatally shoots 1, wounds another in prop gun mishap on ‘Rust’ set, sheriff says
On Thursday, Alec Baldwin fatally shot 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, director of photography, and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza, the movie’s director, with a prop gun on the set of the Western movie "Rust."
Baldwin tweeted Friday, "There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother, and deeply admired colleague of ours."
