Officer fatally shoots dog that attacked someone in Miami

MIAMI (AP) - A Miami police officer fatally shot a dog Sunday following a “possible dog attack,” police said

An officer responded to a call about a dog attack in the Brickell area, Miami police spokeswoman Kiara Delva told news outlets.

Witness Michael Dever told WSVN he was walking behind the dog and its owner when he saw it attack someone.

“People jumped in trying to help, and eventually the dog let loose and he attacked another person, (bit) her ankle, and then he attacked another person, so the dog was wild,”

The police officer “forced to discharge their firearm striking the dog,” the police spokeswoman said. She added that the investigation is still ongoing and no further details were immediately available.
