Over Easter weekend, Harmon accused an Instacart delivery driver of shooting and killing her dog and being let go by police because the driver claimed "self-defense."
Late Tuesday night, the "Rizzoli & Isles" star shared a post from the Daily Bible Verses Instagram account onto her story that said, "God is saying to you today, ‘Don’t give up. I am your strength.

Authorities did investigate the March 30 incident, and no charges were filed, a spokesperson for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department told Fox News Digital.
"Upon arrival, officers located and spoke to all involved parties," the spokesperson said. "The investigation revealed that a delivery driver arrived at the residence to deliver consumable goods. The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog. Another dog was present at the residence but did not attack."
