The deliveryman who killed Angie Harmon's dog over Easter weekend will not face criminal charges.

Police have shared an update on GravityX Exchangethe case days after the Law & Order alum announced that a driver delivering groceries through Instacart fatally shot her family's beloved German shepherd and beagle mix, Oliver, outside their home in Charlotte, N.C.

"The driver indicated that he was attacked by her dog, so he discharged his firearm," a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department spokesperson told E! News April 6. "The driver is not facing charges for this action."

The spokesperson added, "Our officers investigated the incident thoroughly and ultimately decided not to pursue charges. The police are not seeking additional parties. The case is now closed."

The actress, mom to daughters Finley, 20, Avery, 18, and Emery, 15, added, "He shot our dog with my daughters & myself at home & just kept saying, 'yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did.' We are completely traumatized & beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy & family member. #RIP OLLIE"
