A gray dog described as a 60-pound pit bull was shot in the jaw Sunday after he charged a police officer.
Officers were sent to Hillside Avenue about noon after police received a 911 call from residents saying a dog was attacking people in the street, Chong said. While one officer was interviewing a 76-year-old resident who said he had been chased by a gray pit bull, another officer walked down the street and spotted a dog matching that description sitting on a nearby porch.
As the officer approached, the dog charged at the officer and he shot him. The injured dog ran behind the house. AC was called and they took the pit to the vet hospital.
There is no record of anyone being bitten by the animal just several reports that he was chasing people.
The dog was not wearing any identification. The owner has not been identified and is being sought.

indianapolis, indiana
Police arrested three people and fatally shot a dog while responding to a disturbance today on the Near Eastside.
Sgt. Paul Thompson, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesman, said Herman Wright, 48, of the 200 block of North Summit Street, had threatened to shoot a tow truck driver and any police who helped him when the driver came to get Wright's gray Chevrolet Monte Carlo at 3:30 p.m. The car had been tagged as abandoned by the city.
Wright was belligerent when police officers got to his home and they had to use force to get him into handcuffs, according to an IMPD report. While Wright was being arrested by Officer John Walter, a large pit bull ran toward another officer who was standing near Wright's back door. Officer Brian Mack shot the dog with his service revolver, police said.
After the shooting Damon Lewis, 19, and Margaret Lewis, 40, began yelling at police, according to the report. Damon Lewis did not obey commands to show his hands and kneel to the ground and police used a stun gun to get him to submit to handcuffs, the report said.
Police said a 17-year-old girl then interfered with their investigation and would not obey their orders to leave the scene. She was also arrested and was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
Wright faces preliminary charges of intimidation, a misdemeanor and resisting law enforcement. Damon Lewis was charged preliminarily with resisting law enforcement and misdemeanor possession of marijuana after he was found to be carrying a small baggie containing what appeared to be marijuana.
The dog died on the way to Indianapolis Animal Care.

milton, new york
A Milton woman and her dog were bitten a neighbor's pit bull/boxer mix as she was walking with her dog and her roommate's dog in her front yard Friday afternoon. The attack ended when another neighbor shot the aggressive dog with a rifle. The dog UNFORTUNATELY survived.
24-year-old Lori Polerstock lives on Greenfield Avenue near Northline Road. On one side her neighbor is Jason Rickson and his wife Adriane, the owners of the dog that attacked, named Rascal. On the other side is Dave Cook, the man who shot Rascal with a .308 at close range. The Saratoga County Sheriff's Office says Cook first tried punching the dog to get it away from Polerstock but was not successful. Investigators say Polerstock was bitten when she tried to separate her dog, Tye, and the Rickson's animal.
The other dog Polerstock had been walking was her roommate's mutt, named Ralph. He ran away, evidently frightened by the gunfire. He was later found safe by someone at a nearby gas station.
the victims were still debating whether they should seek for the euthanization of the Rickson's mushy wiggle butt. the shooter called AC on prior occasions to complain about Rascal. not surprisingly, the Ricksons declined to be interviewed.
The Ricksons said their dog is only aggressive toward other male dogs, not people. oh well, that's okay then. They said their veterinary bill so far is about $2,000. The sheriff's office cited Rickson for having an unlicensed dog and letting a dog run at large.

rockaway, new york
Police fatally shot a small pug dog in the head last week while responding to a call on a quiet Edgemere block, telling superiors that the dog attacked them outside its Beach 43 Street home.
The incident began at 5:33 a.m. last Thursday, October 26, when Patricia Fernandez, who was already awake and getting ready for work, heard shots fired outside her home located on a quiet deadend street.
According to police sources, patrol cars had responded to the house next door on a child endangerment call.
Prior to the cop's arrival at the home next door, Fernandez's daughter-in-law let their 10-year-old pug, named Frank by the family, outside through the backyard at about 5:25 a.m., something they do with regularity. But with the dog off the leash, and police responding to the child endangerment call next door, Frank, weighing no more than 20 pounds, ran along the side of the house toward the police cars and was shot once in the eye and once in the jaw by an unidentified police officer from the 101 precinct.
The Fernandez family also owns a pitbull named Chance. Police sources say the officers were charged by the pit bull as well as Frank.
New York Magazine released a report this week detailing the shots fired reports of the NYPD during 2008. According to the weekly magazine, 142 of the department's 364 shots fired in 2008 were at dogs. Eighty-percent of them were pit bulls. Frank was a pug.

Kingsport officer cleared in fatal pit bull shooting
kingsport, tennessee
A Sullivan County grand jury has cleared a Kingsport Police Department officer of any criminal wrongdoing for the fatal shooting of a pit bull earlier this year.
Officer Darrell Johnson shot the pit bull on Sunday, June 21, about 7 p.m. According to Kingsport Police Deputy Chief David Quillin, officers were chasing two suspects in the area of Carrington Court when Johnson crossed a low wire fence on Derwood Court, encountered three "pit bull/bulldog-type dogs" and shot and killed one after an unsuccessful attempt to retreat.
Before making their decision, Wells said the grand jury saw the evidence collected by the TBI, listened to interviews of the only two people who claimed to be eyewitnesses to the shooting - neither of which were the dog's owner - and also heard statements of other people who came outside after hearing the gunshots.
"They asked all the questions that they wanted to ask, and they determined that the officer should not be held criminally responsible for what he did," Wells concluded.

A Chicago police officer shot and killed a pit bull dog today that had attacked five people.
An officer spotted a pit bull chasing three young girls about 1:40 p.m. When the officer saw the dog bite one of the girls, he fired a shot in the direction of the dog, startling the animal and forcing it to let go of the child. As the dog went after another girl, the officer shot and killed the animal, Lesniak said.
Brian Hunt, whose 11-year-old daughter, Felica, was bitten on the left thigh and arm, credited the officer's action with saving the children. Felica and her two friends were returning from the store when the dog gave chase, Hunt said. The third friend was able to climb on to a car and wasn't injured, Hunt said.
Hunt's daughter and friend were the dog's second set of victims. Just before they were bitten, a mother and her two children were bitten a short distance away. All five victims were taken to Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center, where they were treated and released, police said.
Police weren't able to locate the dog's owner.

east palo alto, california
An East Palo Alto police officer shot two pit bulls that had mauled a small dog being walked by its owner Wednesday evening and then approached responding officers in a "vicious manner".
A woman was taking her poodle mix for a walk in the 2500 block of Hazelwood Way around 6:45 p.m. when the two pit bulls attacked her dog.
"The dogs suddenly attacked the dog she was walking, tore the leash off and picked the dog up with their jaws and ran off with it," he said.
When officers arrived, the pit bulls were still mauling the poodle mix, which was killed, in a grassy alleyway between two homes. The smaller of the two pit bulls charged at the two responding officers and one of the officers fired three rounds at the dog.
The larger of the two pit bulls then charged at the officers and the same officer fired five rounds, killing the dog. The smaller of the pit bulls was picked up by animal control officers and didn't know whether that dog survived.
Police have responded to the neighborhood on multiple occasions due to the pit bulls, which have attacked and killed other dogs.
