My girlfriend shot it point blank because she deemed it was going to fight her dog. I was not home at the time. I would have preferred a less drastic approach to removing it. She heard some noise in the basement. It had come down a chimney, knocked out a little sheet metal cover thing where some old furnace connected once upon a time. Surprising how big of a racoon can fit through a 6 diameter hole. A chase ensued and the dog "treed" it on a bookshelf.
Edit: Ive had more nuisance animal problems in the city than I ever had when I lived in rural areas. I live inside Denver city limits and have coyotes and foxes walking down the sidewalk. Squirrels literally chewing through the walls. Now there's rats all over. I do like the foxes.
