Tacoma Police Officer Shoots Pit Bull
Pit Bull Shot By Off-Duty Tacoma OfficerTacoma, WA - Tacoma police said an off-duty officer shot a pit bull after it charged him and several other people near the officer's South Hill home. According to a police spokeswoman, the officer was outside his home talking with a neighbor when they saw a teenager on a skateboard being chased by a pit bull.
The officer called to the teenager to come over to him, to protect him from the dog. But the dog charged the three and the Tacoma officer fired once and struck the animal. The dog ran away and the officer called the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, which dispatched deputies who later found the wounded animal and shot and killed it.
There is no word on who owned the dog --
shocker!
