Off-duty trooper shoots pit bull attacking kid on Hyde Park street

By adamg on Sat, 05/15/2010 - 7:53pm

Channel 4 reports the state trooper, relaxing on his front porch on Ellis Street today, jumped into action when the unleashed, unmonitored pit bull tore into a 12-year-old boy walking down the street. When he couldn't get the dog off the boy, he shot it once, which did the trick. The dog may not have died; was hauled off by an unidentified woman.
