Police say that a "male suspect took the two bulldogs from the victim, used a semi-automatic handgun and fled the scene in a white sedan," CNN reports. Gaga, who TMZ says is in Rome working on a movie, is reportedly offering a reward of half a million dollars for the return of the dogs and asking anyone who might have them to email KojiandGustav@gmail.com.
